Audio Spaces: A New Kind of Listening Session

Listening Session

2025

In 2025 we introduced a new event series within our music program, called Audio Spaces. It is built around one simple idea: collective listening in a cozy setup, with a vinyl record of an iconic album playing from start to finish.

For the first session we listened to Blue Lines by Massive Attack, the genre-defining album that carved out the trip hop sound in the early '90s. A deep, moody album that still hits hard, even decades later.

The program is hosted by Marin Echkel, a long-time music enthusiast who shares thoughts between tracks, opens up conversation with the audience when it feels right, and will welcome guest speakers from the music world in future sessions.

Img.02Sofas, low light and good drinks — a living room, just different enough from the everyday setup. People came on their own and stayed for the whole record.

We designed the space to feel like a living room, but reimagined, just enough to make it feel different from the everyday setup. A gramophone, carpet, sofas, moody lights, and good drinks to welcome anyone who dropped by. The setting made it all feel more inviting. Intimate.

And what we loved most? It didn't feel like an event. It was just music, and everyone in the Space sharing a moment. Something we always aim for whenever we're shaping a new format within our cultural program. We're already planning the next Audio Spaces, so if you'd like to know when it's happening, follow us on Instagram.
