Už od prvnÃch ab Nicolase Berniera bylo jasné, že se v zemi požehnané elektroakustiché improvizaci zjevila nová hvÄ›zda velké svÃtivosti. Tuto pozici navÃc potvrzuje i vydánÃm poslednÃch dvou alb, která vy Å¡la jen v rozmezà nÄ›kolika týdnu. Za obÄ›ma jsou pomÄ›rnÄ› jasné vize, každé posazené do jiného kouta. ObÄ› desky pak pomáhajà dot voñt jinà muzikanti — spolupracovnÃci. ZaÄneme s albem Strings.Lines, jehož prazáklademje, i když to nenà z nahrávky jasnÄ› slyÅ¡et, Nicolasova sbÄ›ratelská vášeň — ladiÄky — rozmanité kusy železa, z nichž nÄ›které vydávajà zvuky na konci slyÅ¡itelného spektra. Transformacà zmÄ›nily celý projekt smÄ›rem ke klasické modernÄ›. Pierre-Yves Mertel s violou de gamba a Chris Bartos s houslemi jsou totiž protiváhou jednoho ze symbolu evropské hudebnà tradice, kterou ladiÄka automaticky symbolizuje. Výsledek je nakonec minimalistický opus o pÄ›ti Äástech, z nichž každá se odchyluje mÃrnÄ› jiným smÄ›rem. Úvod dýchá klasiÄtÄ›jÅ¡Ãm glassovskýrn minimalismem, následován okamžiky pÅ™ipomÃnajÃcÃmi elektronického puristu Ryoji Ikedu nebo naopak tradicionalistu Arvo Pärta. Co je ale nejdüležitÄ›jÅ¡Ã, je pÅ™esvÄ›dÄivost celkového konceptu, který dodržel primárni zadánà a navÃc pÅ™inesl muziku, která koncept povýšila na silný zážitek i pro toho, kdo nemá o teoretických základech Ätynceti minutové novinky ani páru.

“Shadow (of Shadows)†for organ and electronics, Algirdas Biveinis (organ).
This piece was composed by Arturas BumÅ¡teinas in Warsaw, November 2010 and premiered by Algirdas Biveinis in Vilnius, December of the same year. The premiere took place in St. Johns’ church which accommodates the largest pipe organ in Lithuania. The concert was attended by a set of different people: few old couples, young family with children, a lost tourist, several friends and author’s father. Imagine a dark and freezing winter evening… Dark means pitch black and cold means -25°C. The piece was recorded with several portable recorders placed around the area of church, one extra microphone was placed outside the church to record the sounds of crows flying above the roofs of Vilnius’ old town.
Later, during mixing at home, a poem “Charge of the Light Brigade†written and recited by Alfred Lord Tennyson and a random female voice fragment from Youtube was added to the mix.
The piece itself is a harmonic analysis of Soviet Lithuania’s (1940-1990) anthem. It could be likened to a shadow which is cast by an object. In this piece’s case it’s a shadow of another shadow.
