CAPTURE THE SOUND, INTERACT WITH THE NATURE OF PLACES, LET THE MUSIC CROSS YOU! The Echos project is a sound experience within historical and archaeological places. Starting from history we travel through time and we do it with music with improvisations of forms created instantly together with coordinated and previously thought out plots.

The instruments used are strings, wind instruments, some types of percussion and above all voices but also local material such as stones, earth, water, wind, sea. The use of voices, male and female, strongly evokes the myth and life of humanity, as if windows were continually opening in the parallel universe and history was being experienced. All rigorously recorded live with equipment of the highest professional level.
