CD Lithuanian Sound Art. Gintas K, 2012


It is a soundscape piece for violin, electronics and environmental sound recordings. Most of the materials used for this piece originate from field recordings from South Africa, therefore the title of the piece - PAR (the Lithuanian abbreviation for SAR). Created using unmodified and digitally processed environmental sounds and featuring live violin playing by the author, PAR is a framework for improvisation rather than a finished composition. Depending on the space and the location, it turns into something new every time it is performed.
