Echo Collective
Echo Collective is redefining contemporary classical music by blending traditional instrumentation with innovative sound technologies. The Brussels-based ensemble, founded by Neil Leiter and Margaret Hermant, crafts cinematic, boundary-pushing compositions.
Their latest release, Mirror Image, explores sonic frontiers through 4DSound and Wave Field Synthesis, recorded in historic and intimate locations. As official ambassadors for 4DSound, Echo Collective presents Mirror Image in immersive 4DSound, adapting it to any venue, from small, intimate in-the-round settings to grand concert halls.
Through collaborations with artists like A Winged Victory for the Sullen and Jóhann Jóhannsson, as well as their own creative output, Echo Collective continues to challenge conventions, crafting transformative experiences for audiences and delivering profound emotional depth through their unique post-classical style.
