ECHOo. is an interactive audio experience which alters the perception of reality, questions our senses and consciousness itself.
We seek to engage the senses with a variety of interventions focusing on hearing by adding sound effects to reality using earphones, as well as addressing sight, smell, touch, movement and taste.

After Glow
Experiencing ECHOo. alters reality not only while one wears the earphones but for minutes and even hours after. Participants report an after effect. The brain re-checks reality, sights and sounds are richer and sharper, participants report a feeling similar to “opening your eyes after meditation”.
We call this part of the experieance the After Glow.
ECHOo. as a tool for a creation
ECHOo. can be used in a jam session to explore music, dance and movement. The ultra sensitive microphone allows dancers to create a sound from movement and singers to harminses soft hums.
