about

“So-Called Space” is a collage-composition created from excerpts of various musics that was used in Lithuanian radio theater 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.
