Forss has announced \u2018Ecclesia\u2019; an innovative, audio-visual album that combines electronic music with an artistic app for the iPad available on June 12.<\/p>\n

Ecclesia<\/em> is an album with the church as the core inspiration, created by an agnostic Swedish electronic music producer, a graphic designer from Vienna and a CGI artist from Germany. Growing up and loving the ecclesiastical music of church organs and choirs as a child, Swedish-born electronica artist, Forss (real name Eric Wahlforss aka creator \/ founder and CTO of SoundCloud) wanted to recreate the essence of what a church is via the medium of electronic music and started composing and creating Ecclesia<\/em>. Walhforss stated about the project, \u201cTo me there is something magical about choir music in particular. It is untouchable – a higher art form that I have never been able to practice myself. It has a very strong emotional impact on me in general. It is the music I regard the highest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eric teamed up with two digital artists for Ecclesia<\/em>, Leo Lass of the Viennese audio-visual team Depart and CGI artist Marcel Schobel to bring the album to life on the iPad. When the app is launched, the user will be drawn into a digital world of sculptures and scenes of interactive album art which can be travelled through and around, with the journey having subtle effects on the music and vice versa.<\/p>\n

Voca Nomen Tuum lifted from Ecclesia<\/em> can be heard here:
