 Echo Collective are a Brussels-based orchestral ensemble founded by Neil Leiter and Margaret Hermant, working in the post-classical world. Echo Collective make interpretations of genres as diverse as alt.rock, synth-pop and black metal, and also create their own original music.
 The ensemble was created when Margaret and Neil collaborated with Adam Wiltzie and Dustin O’Halloran’s A Winged Victory For The Sullen. The American American-born Leiter was introduced to Wiltzie by their mutual friend, the composer and musician Caroline Shaw.
 With ‘Mirror Image’, Echo Collective continue to explore contemporary, experimental classical music merged with captivating and hypnotizing soundscapes.
 This album brings together acoustic research in immersive environments; 4DSound at Monom in Berlin, DNB Soundscape at the CC Hasselt in Belgium, and Wave Field Synthesis with AOI dance company in Chatham, UK.
 Inspired by these new technological tools, Echo Collective then recorded ‘Mirror Image’ in an eclectic mix of familiar and inspiring acoustical spaces; a historic library in Ravenna Italy, a church in the countryside from Margaret’s childhood, La Savonnerie in Brussels, Dada Studio in Brussels, and at home.
