“Once, just now and always anew, Voice was released into a space, resonating and repeating itself into infinity. Its repetition summoned Echo, a mythological creature endowed with many virtues and flaws. In the moment of their encounter, Echo took Voice on a journey of discovery, transformation and acceptance. On this journey, they lit up all the worlds and time and their languages and bodies. At the height of the journey, Voice once again encountered itself. It is the absolute, it is Echo.” Multi-channel composition Echo is the result of participation in KONTEJNER’s educational programmes – the workshop and guided work in a multi-channel studio under the mentorship of electroacoustics engineer and artist Miodrag Gladović.

Dora Fodor (HR)
Dora Fodor is a vocalist, performer and audiovisual artist born in 1993 in Zagreb, where she earned her BA in Fashion Design from the Faculty of Textile Technology and MA in New Media from the Academy of Fine Arts. She attended the musical high school Fran Lhotka in Sisak, specializing in opera singing, which was her first encounter with the exploration of vocal structures and techniques. Her main artistic area of interest is the translation of emotions into vocal structures, that is, the use of techniques of visualization and realization of inner interspaces, which she then transforms into external shapes and sounds through performance. She gained artistic and music experience through collaborations with Valent Samardžija on the project NT Wave, as well as improv sessions with Luka Čapeta, Kruno Levačić, Mak Murtić and other musicians. With colleague Eva Milković she makes up the audiovisual performance duo Doktor Krleža, and she is currently working on her first creative album of art songs under the moniker Yeka. She has exhibited and performed at Indirekt Festival, multimedia festival Project Ilica, at art workshop Lazareti, Aquarisu club, LUZ Festival, Reunited Festival, Szabadkikötő Club in Pécs, Greta Gallery and Kset Club in Zagreb. At the 2018 Showroom of Contemporary Sound, she participated in Katalin Ladik’s workshop and in the final segment of the workshop presented her creative vocal performance of the work Letters. The same year, at Platforma.hr she performed 4 steps of releasing (id)entities, and in 2021 she created and performed the audiovisual poetic piece YEKA at Zagreb’s Močvara club.
