PORTFOLIO #2: The Fields Of Silent Landscapes (Performance-patch)
The audio work for A/V performance called “Quit-Less”.
The work compiled from various high frequency tones, sines and bass.
PERFORMANCE: “Experimental sound composition of field records for organ “VENTA”. Performed at “VENTOS GARSO GALERIJA” (Venta Sound Gallery), April 11th, “Jauna Muzika 2012″, LCU Concert Hall.
Every time the sound of organ is heard, one is reminded of mystifications, which as if they were an old wooden ship take one to a journey to undiscovered fields of emotions, which sometimes we sink in. Experimental sound composition of field records could be compared to the deck of that ship. While sun shines in the sky on the deck one enjoys sounds of surroundings, which are always a pleasure for ears. Every sound makes its own illusions of visible and not visible objects that one paints in his/her mind.
In the composition sounds of Lithuanian organ “Venta” (1988) are used as the object of sound. Later they become the substance of other sounds making development. The object becomes a story that gives a fresh look to the sounds of rain or wind. The sounds of organ are the story of experimental music, which in some cases of composition becomes even, or sometimes varies from low to middle register. In this way the atmosphere of peaceful night is created and in oder to understand it one should try to rely on his/her ability to hear.
The sound is information that everyone of us understands and welcomes in different ways. Sound as a story is a point of view that we have already understood. The only thing left is the interpretation of new sound story. To create it one should answer a question “Am I ready to travel in the space of my mind?” When one finds himself/herself, he/she finds a story. After finding a story, one starts to discover the sound.
Sounds of organ “Venta” were recorded by ANTANAS JASENKA (thanks for him very much)

NEWS#4: Creation in process…
The first thing i had thought ever – creation of composition for something. This happened to me. For the upcoming festival in Lithuania, i was asked to create and arrange the audio performance for the old lithuanian organs “Venta”. Of course it is a big challenge to put the different sounds in one piece of 25 minutes. The main difficulties of the composition is that, the sounds of organs are a little bit distorted and it requires to do a little modulation with various effects like reverbs, delays and frequency shifters.
In all piece for the upcoming performance will be used the field-recordings from various environments, also i’ll try to use some sine sounds, that would retouch the noises in organ sound.
The full composition would be performed at contemporary electronic music festival “Jauna Muzika 2012″ in Vilnius, Lithuania.
The short preview of the composition will be available in a few days.
NEWS#3: The soundtrack of A/V work: Quit-Less
After the long work of visual stuff and preparation of various musical festivals, decided to share the soundtrack of one of my audiovisual work called “Quit-Less”. The audiovisual work preview is given in post “NEWS#2″.
The soundtrack is only for listening, not for download. Maybe the download of it would available when next album will be launched.
NEWS#2: The full showcase of audiovisual work: “Quit-Less”
Quit-less – the performance addicted for people memories. The audiovisual work is a retrospective to what we saw, what we felt. In other words we can say – memories from silence, memories from nature and memories of people.
Where we find silence? Everywhere we can imagine. To hear the silence we should only to listen to it. The best association with silence is the night. At night we hear so much slow sounds everywhere in nature. When we hear it, we start to feel, that in the midnight will be the deadly quiet. Memories of silence in the presented work is recorded in the soundtrack, where each of the sound are changing quietly and have the same tempos, transposes and are like the feedback to silence.
Memories of nature and people at this case is mixed in the visual part. We remember nature from its reactions and events. From the childhood we spent a lot of time in outside and felt that touch of nature. In biology we were examining the cells of plants, water animals. We still remember this part of nature, though it was seen through the microscope. We have memories of everything we see now, everyday we say the blossoms of flowers, the leaves of trees, finally we see other people and their lives. We contact with thousands of them, but only a few are friends of us. We have memories about the people we met in the past. Sometimes we remember them, and then we can told a story about their lives, friendships, thoughts.
For better understanding of the relaxation of memories we have, the visuals of people are taken from old video tape. I think, only the old things can awake the memorable stories from our life. We should live today, but also its worth to remember the past. The memories are our practice and only the memories change our faces.
NEWS #1: “Repeated Sounding” release launched!
“Repeated Sounding” is the theory of experimental sound creation and processing. By analysis of used sound parameters, author calculates and modulates the values of effects and sound volume.
In the audio album are recorded 10 works with different modulated sounds from simple sine oscillators. The sine oscillators sound parameters are changed by the effects. In some tracks, sound is modulated with field recordings of movie tape noise, vinyl plate noise, rain sound, street sounds.
For better perception of the theory with album comes the short book with the detailed description and analysis. Also in the book are included the schemes of five full tracks from the album.
