Echoi - Jonathan Hepfer, artistic director
Echoi is a flexible chamber ensemble co-founded by Jonathan Hepfer and Alice Teyssier in 2006. The group's raison d'être is to present works by intriguing young composers, as well as unjustly neglected composers more advanced in years. The group has held residencies at SUNY Buffalo, Oberlin Conservatory and the universities of Leeds and Huddersfield, and has performed at the Kennedy Center (Washington D.C.), Monday Evening Concerts (Los Angeles) the MehrKlang Festival (Freiburg, Germany) and Musica Sacra in Maastricht, the Netherlands.

Collaboration with visual artist Joyce Cutler-Shaw
Since the summer of 2013, I have been working with the La Jolla-based visual artist Joyce Cutler-Shaw on creating a sonification of her Alphabet of Bones. The work deals with the translation of language into instrumental sound, as can be found in works such as Vinko Globokar's Toucher and Walter Zimmermann's Riuti: Rödungen und Wüstungen.
