about

Hanna Tuulikki and Tommy Perman’s 'Echo in the Dark' EP accompanies a new set of dance music tracks and touring outdoor bat rave inspired by and featuring bat echolocation sounds collected with communities in Arbroath, Angus, and across the UK.

Launching in summer 2022 at Hospitalfield in Arbroath, 'Echo in the Dark' is a major new collaborative work initiated by British-Finnish artist, composer and performer Hanna Tuulikki exploring the interconnections of bat echolocation and dance music as a model for ecological coexistence. Through music and rave, the artist invites audiences to tune into the more-than-human rhythms and frequencies of bats, including those gathered by Scottish communities in Angus. The beats and melodies of the music are made entirely from recordings of bat echolocation calls fused with the sounds of Tuulikki’s voice. Conceived as a love letter to dance music, 'Echo in the Dark' will culminate in a series of silent bat raves which premiere at Hospitalfield on the 8th, 9th and 10th September 2022. Find out more and book tickets online.

'Echo in the Dark' features new electronic music created by the artist in collaboration with music producer Tommy Perman, with each track focusing on a different bat species from the British Isles, using samples of their ultrasonic calls combined with the human voice to create an ephemeral human-bat hybrid world. The music also features a special guest appearance from renowned philosopher Timothy Morton who has written extensively about ecological awareness.

The project was commissioned by Hospitalfield with support from Creative Scotland, the National Heritage Lottery Fund, PRS for Music Foundation and the Silvia Waddilove Trust.

Amazing!!! I missed out on the vinyl. Hopefully there’s a 3rd pressing of this release in the future. So far, my favorite album of 2021 Worm Tamer

A great collection of music. Some understated, some powerful. Hound Trails reminds me of Sci-Fi soundtracks. Striding Edge is a moving soundscape filled with very infectious rhythms. teraley

Jilk - Welcome Lies
by Castles in Space Subscription Library

supported by 13 fans who also own “Echo in the Dark”

This entire album is staggeringly good, but my favourite is Slowly Coming Together, which does indeed seem to slowly distill all that is Jilk into one track. Amazing work, and wonderful to come across through the subscription library. swansither

Monocorpse - Manifestation EP

The music on the new EP from Monocorpse is deliciously sinister—ice cold synths and lockstep robot rhythms. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 17, 2023

Snappy breakbeats, acid-drenched samples, and ’90s techno textures abound on this five-track knockout from the South Korean DJ and producer. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 13, 2023

Music For Low Luxury
by Nurse Predator & Chris Hughes

supported by 13 fans who also own “Echo in the Dark”

Seriously good. Dark, low dub with spectral textures and dead-of-night eeriness. Ade has turned shadows into melodies and those melodies into corporeal entities. Stunning. Michael Stanton
