THE ECCO Sessions

Welcome to the first-ever ECCO Sessions!

Come join us at Engels for a celebration of sound and storytelling – an evening of collective listening. This is the showcase event for audio work created by the first cohort of THE ECCO - An initiative that offers a time and place to playfully explore the world of narrative audio, documentary work & storytelling through sound.

For the past few months, a group of podcast producers, audio artists, journalists, and writers have collaboratively worked on creating short audio pieces. They went outside of their comfort zones creating the audio works you'll hear tonight. Some have been meaning to tell these stories for a while. Others are ideas they haven't had the chance to act on before. Now, they created these works without commercial intent, but rather for the joy of exploration.

What you'll hear tonight will be a mix of experimental audio art, classic storytelling, and everything in between. There might even be a live performance.

Together, we'll listen to the short audio pieces and hear about the origin of the ideas.

"THE ECCO Sessions" serves not just as a showcase but as a vibrant community gathering, celebrating the power of audio storytelling. But also an opportunity for fundraising and paying the audio creators for their work. So, come prepared with your digital or irl wallet.

Doors are open from 6:30pm onwards. If you've reserved at ticket at you don't show up until 7:15pm, we'll be filling the spots with anyone who's waiting to get in.

The show starts at 7:15pm and will likely be 2 hours long. Afterwards we're sticking around for celebrations and fun.

Disclaimer: This is a private event. It's not professionally run. Many of us are doing this for the first time. So please be kind, be patient. We might make mistakes along the way.
