’Shadows of the night canvas', Dedicated to Mikalojus’ brush

Reflection of several nightscapes from the paintings of Ciurlionis... I try to give sound to these pictures and to filter the imag- ery, Ciurlionis’ physical brush strokes and often unstable emotional aspects through a subjective  soundtrack.

'In between silence'

Musical material lands in between beats 'of silence' every time. In a certain time segment where it seems nothing is happen- ing. Just like the occurence 'here and now', that has unavoidably fallen back to the past tense and became silence - similar to the one existing in the forest.. In the past moments, for the forest and its silence.

‘Walking Through The Three Points‘

This piece is a walking audio tour of the streets of Vilnius. I chose three starting points for my route – three places of worship where you can often hear ringing bells. We perceive bells as musical sound, while what’s left in the background when the bells stop ringing is usually attributed to silence. This urban silence, however, is filled most of the time with the noise of traffic. Ubiquitous and ever-changing, yielding a multitude of unidentified, unheard-of sonorities, to which we’ve grown so accustomed we no longer discern them consciously. Traffic makes up a part of the fabric of our daily soundscape.​

‘Hightet‘

‘Hightet‘ based on two old ideas I had for years. One is a direct association with the string instruments for me, as the violin player. I often joke, you can recognize violinist by his exhausted from the high frequencies look. Second idea I got when hearing composers Johannes Schöllhorn’s violin concerto, written inspired by the imaginative changing view which he sees when turning around his axis. The long continuous glissando in violin part was describing view of the sea and it created amazing effect on me - feeling of changing space and static time, and association with something continuous but monu- mental.​​

‘dew.mist.’ 

‘The feeling of clear and refreshing August morning. In this silence you can hear the dew and mist appearing. The most important role in this process is taken by the meditative change of timbre.​​​​​

‘Lyrica’

My sound recordings from the archives, titles of various latin medicaments, voices growing into improvisations of those titles. Consumption like panacea, consumption here, in Lithuania, in the world.
