Everyday life is just full of surprises, according to Lithuanian sound-artist Gintas K, and to prove it he made Lovely Banalities, a suite of 14 pieces which we are invited to visit and revisit like pictures on the wall, as they continue to reveal hidden depths to otherwise unremarkable moments or fleeting impressions. Gintas’ approach to electronic music is credible and slightly eccentric, yet I feel there isn’t quite enough breathing space or room to manoeuvre in these rather busy digital doodles. It’s as though he’s so concerned with pointing out his lovely banalities to us (like some hyperactive tour guide) that he won’t allow us time to observe them.
