Ephemera
presents olfactory compositions based on musical resonances and reverberations. The nose behind the project is Berlin-based Geza Schoen. In the first phase of the project, three musicians – Ben Frost, Tim Hecker, and Steve Goodman (aka Kode9) – created raw sonic material which Schoen then reinterpreted to create three different scents: Noise, Drone and Bass.

The project is curated and produced by Malgorzata Plysa and Mat Schulz of Unsound.
