About

Ecto Musica is a research-based artistic project focused on listening as a cultural, perceptual, and relational experience. Founded in 1985, the project has evolved continuously as an artistic and research practice.

The project investigates how musical experience can emerge from shared attention rather than from predefined compositional structures. Ecto Musica operates at the intersection of musical performance, artistic research, and perceptual studies, proposing new models of sonic experience based on presence and collective listening.

Research focuses on the relationship between sound, attention, and perception within shared musical environments. Music is understood not as a fixed artistic object, but as a dynamic relational process that emerges in real time through interaction between performer, participants, and space.

The piano functions as a sonic interface through which collective listening becomes audible, while the performance environment is prepared to support deep listening and sensory presence.

The use of C tuned to 128 Hz is part of a broader research perspective exploring relationships between sound frequency, attention, and perceptual states. Sound is used as a research tool to investigate shared experiential coherence.

Ecto Musica contributes to contemporary research on sound and perception, proposing forms of musical experience based on shared attention rather than traditional performer–listener separation.

Listening is a shared condition of presence.
