about

“So-Called Space” is a collage-composition created from excerpts of various musics that were used in Lithuanian radio theatre plays between years 1950 and 2001. The music was removed from it’s original dramatic contexts and layered into complex and sometimes confusing textures. It is intended that the paradoxes of superimposition gain suggestive powers and provoke listener to imagine the missing dramatic action. Sometimes a brief glimpse of breath or snatch of a voice slips through the stiches of music but it never shows itself in a fully verbal sense. The same is with the folly sound effects, it seems the theater play will start in a moment but the music suddenly changes and the possibility of drama is subverted.

“So-Called Space” was created with the support of Lithuanian Composer’s Union in year 2014. Audio editing assistant – Gailė Griciūtė. Special thanks to Karina Metrikytė (Lithuanian Radio)

Edition of 70 copies.

Continuum-collage piece by Lithuanian composer Arturas Bumšteinas created in 2015 from incidental music sampled from various Lithuanian radio drama's from the 1950's to 2000's. A strange heady brew which juxtaposes music, sound effects, rudiments of vocal expression and various acoustic instruments among others in a compelling cut-up, reminding at times of People Like Us or Dirk Schaeffer's recent work for Peter Tscherkassky's movies.
