Ever wanted to know what drone, bass, and noise smell like? Well, Unsound festival is launching a new project called Ephemera, which will team three musicians — Tim Hecker, Kode9, and Ben Frost — with the Berlin-based avant-garde perfumer Geza Schoen.
The musicians will make original music, and Schoen will create the scents to pair with the compositions. Hecker is composing for Drone, Kode9 for Bass, and Frost for Noise. The completed scents will inspire more music, which will be housed in an installation-style environment with both scents and sounds.
A wearable version of the scents will be released in a collection later this year.
