ECHORROES: ECHONEXUS — WITH THREE MUSICIANS AND A PARTICIPATORY APPROACH

ECHORROES: Echonexus — with three musicians and a participatory approach

We have built Echorroes so that anyone, of any age and language, can express themselves musically without prior training. At its core stands a facilitator; around her, Echonexus — an interactive musical instrument driven by AI algorithms that listens and responds.

What happens if, in the facilitator’s place, we put three virtuoso improvisers? How does a system designed for everyone — inclusive yet of genuine aesthetic substance — come face to face with musicians who have mastered the art of improvisation, and what new thing is born from that encounter?

Savina Yannatou guides us with her voice, calmly into the unexpected, without a map, defying the fear of the unknown.

Yorgos Stavridis, with his “percussion,” transforms every object into a musical instrument — doing by hand what the algorithm does digitally.

Panagiotis Sioras, with his bass clarinet — a centuries-old “tube” built for virtuosi — enters into dialogue with Echonexus, a young musical “tube” built to give voice to every child.

Three new cores within a vessel already shaped by the relationship between the facilitator, the algorithm, and the children — open a new space of interactions. Participation migrates inward, between the musicians and Echonexus, and at the same time outward, toward an audience invited to share the space and the sound with curious ears.

Duration: 20:00–22:00 (two 45-minute sessions with an intermission)
