We're Building a More Resonant Future

Ethically connecting the world's cultural sound heritage with the creative economy.

Who We Are

A Collective of Technologists, Audio Engineers, and Cultural Strategists.

ECHOES Worldwide Ltd. is a Delaware-based technology company with our operational heart and sound labs in Nairobi, Kenya. We are building a new, ethical standard for the preservation and commercialization of cultural sound.

The Problem We Solve

The global demand for authentic, location-specific sound is exploding. Yet, the communities who are the rightful owners and custodians of this cultural IP have historically been exploited or entirely excluded from the economic value chain. Their heritage is often used, but they are rarely compensated or credited.

Our Mission

To ethically bridge the gap between the world's invaluable cultural sound heritage and the multi-billion dollar creative economy, ensuring fairness, transparency, and empowerment for source communities.

Our Vision

To become the global trust layer for cultural sound—a world where every note, chant, and soundscape has verified provenance and economic agency, empowering communities to thrive and cultures to endure for generations.

Our Solution: A Two-Sided Ethical Ecosystem

ECHOES creates a virtuous cycle that benefits all participants.

For Enterprises & Creators

We provide a seamless platform to license unparalleled, blockchain-verified soundscapes. Accessing our library means your projects resonate with authenticity while fulfilling ESG and ethical sourcing goals. Your license fee directly fuels cultural preservation.

For Source Communities & Archivists

We provide the technology and framework to sovereignly manage sonic heritage. Through smart contracts, royalties are automated, transparent, and instantaneous, transforming cultural assets into sustainable revenue streams. We don't just record sounds; we return their value.

Our Ultimate Goal

To transform cultural preservation from a charitable endeavor into a sustainable, scalable, and profitable ecosystem for everyone involved.

The ECHOES Value Cycle: Transparent from Field to Fees

Our platform is engineered to ensure ethical sourcing and automatic royalties at every step.

Step 1: Capture & Document

High-fidelity soundscapes are captured and documented with rich metadata (location, context, performers).

Step 2: Verify & Immortalize

Each file is cryptographically fingerprinted and its provenance recorded on the blockchain for permanent authenticity.

Step 3: License & Automate

Enterprises license sounds. A smart contract automatically executes the moment a purchase is made.

Step 4: Distribute & Empower

The smart contract instantly splits and distributes royalties directly to community digital wallets. The value returns to its source.
