gintas k DIMENSIONS (2016, CD, Frozen Light): New dimensions of modern music

I don't use terms postmodern music or even my own one postmusica for music of gintas k. He has his own style, and lots of releases, concerts in various parts of the world and internet, so the ones who are interested in experimental, abstract music, should check out all his releases: https://www.discogs.com/artist/101392-Gintas-K

DIMENSIONS contains two tracks:

Dimensions 35:10

antras galas 06:30 [Lith. second part]
    
DINENSIONS was prepared as a live-in-studio recording to be presented at ISEA2015 (The 21st International Symposium on Electronic Art) during the main exhibition program "Immersive Sound Room"; Vancouver, Canada, August 14-18, 2015. “Dimensions” was created and performed using Plogue Bidule software and various VST plugins. The plugins were assigned and controlled by midi keyboard and midi controllers. All the elements were played live and engaged with improvisation, granules, noise and the computer as instrument. Relationships are formed between composed, live playing, improvisation, and generative software. Similarly, connections are made between vintage electroacoustic, digital noise and a soft touch.

Cover by Daniil G, layout and design by Olga M. Frozen Light label is in Moscow.

My own impression. Music of Gintas K (and now, particularly, DIMENSIONS) creates a new dimension in modern music. I really don't know how i could call it, perhaps i just don't want to make a tag. It reminds something of his earlier work, but don't get fooled: Gintas K only from the first sight seems similar from the beginning of the album, but later he makes a lot of musical movements that are unpredictable. I would even call him Lithuanian John Cage because Gintas K made a sort of revolution in music. In all albums he was very creative and courageous.

Various exotic patterns together with microsounds are mixed as water sprinkles in the Ocean, later his universe expands in many explosions of Nature. Check out 27:40, for example. This terrific wall of sound is so powerful, but it's not a noise music album. It's something much more.

Perfect, as always, and all the time getting better. Thank You, Gintas for Your interesting Music.

The CD, by the way, has only 300 numbered copies.
