Summary History

Echo City is a British sound sculpture and music project founded in London in 1983 by Van der Graaf Generator member Guy Evans, Giles Leaman, Giles Perring and David Sawyer.

Its current active members are Guy Evans, Julia Farrington, Rob Mills, Giles Perring and Paul Shearsmith[1]. Susie Honeyman of The Mekons is a former member of the group.

The project creates and builds collections of giant musical instruments and sound sculptures of its own design called 'sonic playgrounds'. The group has also run music and arts projects based on encouraging participation in music and sound making. Echo City has also performed as a band since 1985 and has made a number of recordings which it has released via its own Gramophone Records label, Line Music and Some Bizzare.
