"i echo" is a multifaceted composition that intertwines the concepts of echo and echocardiogram with a musical tribute to Atlanta’s Civil Rights Movement. The piece captures the essence of voices resonating through time and reflecting collective experiences.
In music, an echo is a repetition of sound that creates a sense of depth and resonance. It symbolizes the lasting impact of messages and actions over time. "i echo" not only embodies this musical principle but also serves as a metaphor for the enduring echoes of the civil rights struggle - voices of courage and resilience that continue to inspire new generations. In order for echo to be produced, it requires an obstructing surface. This is an inspiration to always be a mountain that helps carry the voices in need to be heard.
In a medical context, an echocardiogram is a test that uses sound waves to produce images of the heart. This examination reveals the heart’s rhythm, strength, and health - mirroring the heart of a movement that beats for justice. Just as an echocardiogram provides critical insights into the functioning of the heart, "i echo" reveals the pulse of social justice, the heartbeat of a community striving for equality, and a heartbreak for those who lost the fight.
"i echo" serves as a reminder that the messages of hope and justice should always reverberate in our hearts.
