La proposta del compositore lituano Arturas Bumsteinas è di adottare i più tipici stilemi di folktronica e poptronica e di estenderli in lunghe composizioni da camera anziché rinchiuderli in arrangiamenti per canzoni tradizionali. L’ultimo “Meubles†(a seguire i vari “Stories from Organ Safariâ€, “Heap Of Languageâ€, “Three Sixteens†etc.) è un esempio lampante di questo …

“Ab OVO†reviewed by Sonic Seducer
Seinen Ursprung hat “Ab Ovo†in der musikalischen Begleitung für eine Aufführung des Puppentheaters der portugiesischen Stadt Porto.
