This year is the 20th edition of EKKO Festival. A festival to promote sound art, experimental sound and electronic dance music. Artistic expressions that contain exciting and complex themes while remaining accessible.

Matteo Marangoni and Dieter Vandoren will present their project Komorebi. Komorebi is a swarm of artificial creatures that make music in response to the sun, the clouds and the shadows of trees moving in the wind. Komorebi is a Japanese word meaning “sunlight shining through trees”. We are invited to experience the shadow play produced by the tree canopy on the forest floor as music. The work suggests that “life” is not an exceptional property of organic life forms, but also a property of complex systems reaching beyond biological life as we understand it.
