Description

Universal Echoes explores the four elements of earth, and Mother Nature, through music. The compositions were all created through the collaborative efforts of Kuné’s members and feature music inspired by the musicians’ direct lived and cultural experiences.

Universal Echoes stem from the idea of oneness – the interrelatedness of all beings, joining together and unifying all that inhabits our world. Through the motion of an Echo, slightly varied repeated sounds reoccur over different spaces, reverberating, bouncing, travelling, and reflecting. The musical program of Kuné does just that, taking the listener on an audio voyage, hearing both familiar and foreign sounds.
