Echo Loom

Project details match catalog

About

An app where elders sing or hum an old song from memory, even a fragment, and it gets turned into a real, playable piece of music with instruments and lyrics rebuilt around it.

Impact

Thousands of regional folk songs, work chants, and lullabies exist only in the memories of aging community members. Echo Loom pairs a simple voice-recording tool with a music reconstruction engine trained on regional instrumentation.

Progress

Collected 40 raw recordings from three villages through partner community centers. Built a prototype reconstruction pipeline using regional instrument sample libraries; first playback tests brought two elders to tears of recognition.

Team

I grew up recording my grandfather's songs on a cassette player before he passed, then losing the tapes. I'm now an ethnomusicology grad with 4 years of field recording experience across rural communities.

Funding

No displayed figures preserved for this project.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
