DvojCD Lengvai / 60 x One Minute Audio Colours of 2kHz Sound je takÅ™ka Äistokrevný “hard listening”. Jinými slovy se pÅ™ipravte na to, že KraptaviÄiusova sonická minimal vyÅ¡inutost na hranici ultrazvuku made in Lithuania dá vaÅ¡im uÅ¡Ãm pořádnÄ› zabrat. Po dvou albech vydaných nÄ›meckým labelem Retina Scan se zvukových experimentů Gintase KraptaviÄiuse tentokrát ujÃmá malé …

For this effort, a pure sound at the frequency of 2kHz forms a malleable network which is lubricated by steady rhythmic formulations. Accordingly, the concerns of these compositions, specifically those featured on the second disc, are technical, not musical. Cold, clinical and transfixing in its sparse, endless motion, these works slowly suss out infinitesimal combinations, …

Directamente da cena electrónica experimental da Lituânia para a editora portuguesa Crónica Electrónica, Gintas K. (K. de Krapatvicius) expõe os ambientes rarefeitos e o minimalismo da sua maquinaria. Gintas trabalha sobretudo com micro-sons em baixa frequência. Experimenta combinações dinâmicas e cromáticas e interessa-se pelo impacto das frequências sonoras no ouvinte, através dum acervo sonoro que …

I’m certainly not attracted by the large part of contemporary glitch-and-skip electronica, but this double CD by Gintas Kraptavicius is surely a good antidote against the “light-hearted laptop” syndrome that is affecting the world today. Will anyone ever prevent all these nondescript twiddlers from releasing neat-sounding “bell-and-whistle” tiny songs slightly disturbed by electrostatics to give …

Dalla Lituania via Crónica Electronica (Portogallo) arriva un doppio cd deflagrante nelle articolazioni soniche di raffinate sequenze sperimentali, astratte e minimal. Incursione nei territori post-techno operata da Gintas Kraptavicius, aka Gintas K, coerente e sistematica nelle strutture non immuni da influenze anche noise-industrial. In ‘Lengvai’, diviso a sua volta in altre cinque incisioni, le ricche …

The latest output by the mysterious Gintas K can be divided in two parts. The first CD offers digital post-techno, as if Raster-Noton meets Esplendor Geometrico or Sonar. Deep hypnotizing betas go along with high-pitched peeps and rhythmic noise fragments. But always keeping a mathematical abstractness and systematic, precise built-up. The second CD features 600 …

Vom gleichen Label, aber von einem ganz anderen Kaliber ist die Doppel-CD “Lengvai/ 60 x One Minute Audio Colors Of 2kHz Sound” (cronicaelectronica.org/A-Musik) von GINTAS K. “Lengvai” bedeutet soviel wie “einfach, leicht oder unbeschwert” und es hört sich auch so an, obwohl unheimlich viel Arbeit und Innovation in diesen Sounds steckt. Wie ein besessener Schatzsucher …

Avec Gintas K nous sommes à la croisée des chemins, entre expérimentation sonore et technologique. La notion de “musique” étant finalement rendue aussi abstraite que les sons générés avec son ordi : bleeps, clicks & cuts, interférences, bruits blancs, glitch, infra-bass, effet de masse, etc. Une véritable autopsie de la musique électronique. Et pourtant, avec …

Musik, die mir nicht als Lebensmittel taugt, als Stimulans von Freude, als Aha- effekt, als Pharmakon gegen sinnliche Verhornung oder soziale Verfettung, die ist mir weitgehend gleichgültig. Und wenn sie mir dumm kommt, dann stört sie mich. Diese Gefahr besteht bei Living-Room-Electronica selten. [Von Tanzmusik reden wir hier grundsätzlich nicht, nicht aus Snobismus, sondern weil …

De sa Lituanie natale, Gintas K adresse au reste du monde sa vision d’une musique électronique expérimentale, qui oscille entre une efficacité narquoise et un parti pris plus difficile à entendre. Meilleur exemple en date, le double album produit cette année par Cronica Electronica. D’un côté, Lengvai, manifeste post-techno léger à force de minimalisme revendiqué. …
