Echoes and Signals (aka Echoes&Signals) is a musical project by Russian songwriter, guitarist, vocalist and record producer Fedor Kivokurtsev. The project's title refers to the 'unity of opposites' concept, which is the central category of many philosophical discourses [1]

History

The project begins its story in 2012 as an instrumental act drawing inspiration from progressive rock and post/math rock genres.[2] After releasing 2 conceptual EPs "Comma" and "Ouroboros"[3] the first long play album called "V" (reference to the five stages of grief) has been released in 2014.[4]

The second LP "Monodrama" was released in 2017. Album title and concept were referring to psychotherapy method.[5]

During live tours and performances EaS shared a stage with Pain of Salvation,[6] Long Distance Calling, Sólstafir.[7]

The third long play album "Mercurial" was released in 2021 and was signifying the new era for EaS .
