Echoes of Light & Darkness is an audio essay on the Holly Ghost Congress, a religious event held twice a year at the Redeemed Church of God (RCCG) in Lagos. The congress offers a six-day programme of praise, worship, scriptural exposition, prayers and personal ministrations. 500’000 worshippers gather for all-night programmes in the almost one kilometer long RCCG church to celebrate Jesus in a festival-like atmosphere.
The composition echoes the hundreds of loudspeakers installed in the church.
