about

The Music Information Centre Lithuania released its first vinyl record – a split LP featuring Twentytwentyone and DIISSC Orchestra side-by-side. Despite their aesthetic differences, the producer managed to identify the link between the two collectives. Both groups once represented the vibrant, deeply conceptual, creative and performance-oriented Lithuanian experimental music scene. While the members of both quartets parted their ways, individually they continue to develop new artistic outlets, and frequently collaborate with other creative collectives.

The ensemble Twentytwentyone was founded in Vilnius 2005, the members being four Lithuanian musicians: Artūras Bumšteinas, Lina Lapelytė, Antanas Dombrovskij and Vilius Šiaulys. Initially, their performances were sonic interpretations of graphic scores and moving images. The quartet use laptops as primary instruments for creating and performing music, but they also employ a wide range of other electronic and acoustic instruments (such as violin, flute, electric guitar, samplers, synthesisers, amplified objects, midi keyboards, etc.). For this record, the artists have used selected pages from Cornelius Cardew’s 'Treatise' (1967) as a visual inspiration for their sound material, which was composed by each artist individually, to be later put together in the studio. The text of 'Treatise' is so ambiguous that, in fact, it is open to any reading, and situates every attempt at interpretation on the verge of cognitive anarchy.

On the other side, four original compositions are presented by the members of DIISSC Orchestra, four Lithuanian composers: Martynas Bialobžeskis, Antanas Jasenka, Vytautas V. Jurgutis and Jonas Jurkūnas. The ensemble was founded in 2008; their starting point was compositions involving a variety of CD players and stopwatches, combining high and low-tech, old-school Venta synthesizers, and malfunctions of audio equipment. This release will symbolically mark the tenth anniversary of their electronic music quartet. Jonas Jurkūnas’ 'Venta lebewohl' 2017, a remix of Jurgutis’ piece 'Tinohi', which was introduced in the debut programme D.O, recalls Venta, one of the most memorable projects. In Martynas Bialobžeskis’ 'MY DO', several programmes from Diissc Orchestra are welded into one structure; and Antanas Jasenka’s 'exe.rpm' represents rhythm and frequencies that were often part of the ensemble’s performances. The compositions encourage the listener to ‘read from vinyl records’, hence to interpret sound material that has already been recorded by someone else on a specific sound carrier.
