"Composed in 1988/89, Echo Solo marked a seemingly radical departure
from my previous compositional style, which up to then had consisted primarily
of rock-influenced post-minimalist pieces for various configurations of electric
guitars with instrumentations varying from one, three, six to one hundred
electric guitars, electric bass and drums…By 1989, I had been working with
tendencies coming out of the classical avant-garde and serious hard rock for
almost fourteen years and wanted to try my hand at something else. In 1982, I
had made a piece called For Brass, which incorporated fully-notated music
combined with improvisatory techniques coming out of jazz…I wanted to continue
in this direction in Echo Solo, only using different musical elements.
Since I had already experimented with combining popular forms with art music, I
wanted to see what would happen if I used a diverse vocabulary exclusively drawn
from the last classical avant-garde." - Rhys Chatham
