What makes the Ekko, Denmark wonder?

            The Ekko is a man-made work that exploits the possibilities of sound to produce a magnificent experience. At first glance, it is a circle of concrete pathway with wooden frames of incrementally different dimensions surrounding it.

            We could call it a snaking tunnel made of wood. As you walk on the pathway that is inside the work, you experience a unique sound. This is caused by the footsteps and voices in the corridor which are collected by the microphones hidden within the wooden beams. These sounds are remixed by a computer and played back as distorted echoes through tiny speakers.

            The brilliant work is installed in hjallerup, Denmark. Created by Thilo Frank, Ekko offers a special walking tour and sound experience. There were around 200 wooden frames used for the work. Each of them is angled slightly, so the construction turns in on itself along a 60-metre corridor.
