Echochime

Aritay’s band Echochime is a renegade ensemble of musical innovators that burst onto the scene around 3 years ago, seamlessly blending the arcane musings and traditions of the Myastara cities with the mechanized rhythms of the Technara territories. Their performances are an electrifying fusion of sound, technology, and sorcery, incorporating Echo Stones , layered harmonies, and improvisational magic to create a live experience unlike any other. Their music defies genre, shifting effortlessly between hauntingly beautiful ballads, high-energy dance rhythms, and surreal, dreamlike soundscapes.

With a reputation for spontaneous performances, unconventional venues, and a fiercely loyal following, they have become one of the most talked-about acts in both the Mystara Territory and Technara Territory . No two shows are ever the same, thanks to their experimental use of these stones, capturing and manipulating audio in real-time. Some say their performances border on spellcraft, while others claim they are rewriting the very essence of music itself.
