Echospheric symbolizes a space where innovative and resonant sounds converge, reflecting the eclectic sonic experiments and diverse instrumental landscapes of the featured artists. It symbolizes an interconnected sonic journey, merging experimental sounds, intricate networks, and immersive experiences, challenging conventional boundaries and engaging audiences in a reverberating atmosphere.

HISHIGARO 
Hishigaro is a sound performance project  which challenges the boundaries of language, sound, and technology. It tells the tale of Hishigaro, a character on a quest to save his village from an enigmatic threat. This project emerged from the sonic experimentation of Samantha Tiussi and Dario Dornel, who discovered the story within the sounds they created, and they use this narrative as a score. Drawing from Wittgenstein’s philosophy on language’s limitations and Xenakis’s approach to notation, “Hishigaro” challenges conventional communication and explores sound as a means of storytelling.
Central to our project’s sonic tapestry are the instruments and elements we employ, including electronics, an acoustic piano, and an array of diverse sound sources. Notably, the ‘Piano Glass,’ a unique instrument Samantha has ingeniously crafted by repurposing a traditional piano and replacing its strings with delicate glass shards, serves as a pivotal element in our sonic journey.

WAK
The WAK Collective unites 8 sound artists who specialize in exploring interconnected networks through their work. Their approach involves conducting research and experimenting within an ecological framework. WAK creates soundscapes by strategically placing themselves among the audience and utilizing acousmatic sound sources. The ensemble employs a diverse range of instruments, including synthesizers, feedback systems, motion sensors, and acoustic instruments. All these elements converge to form intricate networks that intertwine individual identity and community, with a primary emphasis on discovering innovative ways to strengthen these connections while addressing personal vulnerabilities.
