Echo-Ovations (in some spaced out thoughts and memories about acoustic impressions)

a sound piece or radio essay in two parts 

about my personal history with sounds in large spaces, including bits and cuts of some old cassettes with recordings of my dad.

"An echo is something that comes back to you, a reverb is something that leaves you."



Part one, a 12min feature, was produced 2020 for the 6th episode of the podcast series Periscope by Performing Arts Department of the Serralves Museum, Porto. Other contributors to the series were Gustavo Ciríaco, Osso Exótico, Sara Manente, Christina Kubisch, David Toop and more.

The extended version, including part 2 and an introduction talk, I published for the first time for the "Soundmaking" podcast series by Matthew Shlomowitz and Håkon Stene.

Elements of the text were included in this print:
