Sounds of Sacred Echoes

About This Project

In ancient Christian churches as well as in the ancient temples of the other great religions of the world, the sounds always generate different types of echo which, to an attentive ear, vary in duration and sharpness of its resonance according to the size and architecture of each particular temple.

The echo of chant and music that resonate in the ancient sacred buildings is a sublime physical metaphor of the Divine Word that resonates in the Human Being.

“Sounds of Sacred Echoes” is a show of singing, music and word, specifically designed to be played within religious temples or ancient traditional buildings.

Listening to how each sound is altered by these buildings built according to certain objective laws of sacred architecture, we regulate each time the harmony of the chant into an improvisation guided by the effects that the echo produces on our voices.

When the door is closed so that the echo could resonate in every corner of the temple, the audience is invited to listen to a chanting and a recitation resulting from a certain quality of presence in silence.

Accompanying us with musical instruments from different religious traditions of east and west, we sing fragments of sacred texts in Sanskrit, Avestan, Aramaic and Latin. These same texts we recite in alternation in Spanish, as an echo of the silence left by the chant.
