SPATIAL AUDIO EXPERIENCE with OTVAAL
What is HARCHA?
HARCHA is a spatial audio journey, created by OTVAAL & CCULDESACC, which dares you to experience simultaneously ample and yet claustrophobic sound environment, full of grace and mystery.
But what exactly is HARCHA?
Within 12 minutes, you will find yourself in a hall below ground level, among a short-spoken crowd of people united by a sole mysterious purpose.
One by one, they start communicating by spitting, drenching the floor with the liquid filling up their mouths. Suddenly, a carefree tune starts drifting through the chaos, rushing into your ears. Now you feel at ease, now you feel good. But something about this place still feels off — and the whole event is about to go south.
Multiple formats to choose from.
HARCHA comes in all shapes and sizes, digital and analog. Both stereo and Dolby Atmos* versions are available on all streaming platforms - so you can experience it practically anytime, anywhere.
*Since HARCHA is all about the spatial audio immersion, Dolby Atmos provides the head-tracking function for an enhanced listening experience on supported platforms (Apple Music, TIDAL, Amazon Music).
Live-tested in Mexico. Comes in a bite-sized form.
Hosted by xpan* in Mexico City, HARCHA came to be as a three-day audio exhibition presented on a custom-designed 12-channel system, followed by a pop-up event in EP1.
