Biography

Echo Harmony is the sonic architect behind “Funny Badges: Countdown,” responsible for creating the show’s distinctive audio landscape. From the subtle hum of space stations to the comedic timing of pratfall sound effects, Echo ensures every audio moment enhances the story.

Audio Philosophy

Echo believes that sound should be the invisible character in every scene – present enough to enhance the emotion, but subtle enough to let the comedy shine through. The goal is to make viewers feel like they’re truly in space, even when the situation is completely ridiculous.

Musical Background

• Instruments: Piano, synthesizer, theremin, and various “space instruments” (many self-built)
• Genres: Specializes in sci-fi orchestral, electronic comedy scores, and ambient space sounds
• Signature: Known for incorporating actual NASA space recordings into compositions

Technical Setup

Echo’s studio resembles a spaceship cockpit, with analog synthesizers, digital workstations, and custom-built instruments designed to create otherworldly sounds. The centerpiece is a vintage Moog synthesizer that’s been modified with “space knobs.”

Personal Quote

“Comedy is all about timing, and timing is all about sound. A perfectly placed ‘boing’ can turn a good joke into a great one. In space, everyone can hear you laugh – if you get the audio right.”
