Masters of experimental sound Vytautas Labutis and Donatas Bielkauskas invite you to a sonic journey of industrial romanticism on October 16 at 6:30 PM, where seemingly incompatible worlds will merge – different creative practices and individual approaches. Both artists explore the interaction between man and the environment in their own way, and their musical dialogue is full of surprises. Although both creators actively express themselves in improvisational music, their origins lie in different stylistic poles. This stage meeting is the first in the context of a joint performance, despite previous encounters in other projects.
The concert will feature experimental acoustic instrument sounds, field recordings from industrial spaces, and homemade instruments. All of this will come together to form a coherent sound story – an adventure that the performers will invite the audience to immerse themselves in. This is not just a concert, but an experience that invites you to delve deeper, hear, and rethink the world of sound anew.
More about the performers:
Vytautas Labutis is one of the most prominent figures in the Lithuanian jazz scene: a multi-instrumentalist, improviser, composer and pedagogue. His musical language encompasses free improvisation and fixed structures, chamber performances and large ensembles. Active on the Lithuanian and international scene since 1982, Labutis collaborates with academic music creators, participates in interdisciplinary performances, and creates for theatre and cinema.
Donatas Bielkauskas is a creator whose music boldly balances between experimental electronics, ambient soundscapes and acoustic discoveries. His work combines technology, natural environmental sounds, industrial noises and unexpected, locally found objects. Donatas' works are distinguished by their conceptuality, sonic diversity and mastery. He is a laureate of the Golden Stage Cross (2023, 2024), and Ethno Performer of the Year (2007).
