ēkhô white 2021

The name comes from:

echo : a natural phenomenon in which sound waves are reflected on solid obstacles and become perceptible by the human ear.

Echo: the mythological nymph who lost her voice and consequently her expression, is the allegorical projection of the acoustic phenomenon.

The choice of the name is directly related to the meaning of transfer and reflection that the word contains and is intended to connect with the past, since something that is heard now, through reflection, has been said in the past.
