   L’artiste sonore et compositeur lithuanien Gintas K sort, seize ans après son premier disque chez Crónica, l’excellent label portugais consacré aux musiques électroniques et expérimentales, Lèti, « Lent » en lithuanien. Onze titres de musique électronique à la fine granulation : regardez bien la pochette !    Clochettes, touches de synthétiseur : un clapotis, un tintinnabulement enchanteur, c’est “Bells”, […]

Having seen various videos of Gintas K’s improvisations, involving a keyboard and a dusty old Lenovo ThinkPad running some custom software, it’s apparent that his approach to composition is nothing if not unusual, and it’s matched by the results.  His Crónica debut, Lengvai / 60 x one minute audio colours of 2kHz sound was sixteen years ago, […]

Der litauische Klang-, Performance- und Konzeptkünstler Gintas Kraptavičius alias Gintas K bringt dieser Tage ein neues Tape heraus. “Lėti”, das im Litauischen “langsam” bedeutet, enthält elf Miniaturen, gebaut aus filigranen Sounddetails unterschiedlichster Herkunft, die einer ebensolchen Vielfalt an Bearbeitungsstufen unterzogen wurden und in ihrer finalen Gestalt einer großen Wunderkammer gleichen, in der man bei jedem […]

Een kleine verrassing bij Crónica is de nieuwe uitgave van de Litouwse componist Gintas K. Hij is geen onbekende – ook niet op dit Portugese label – maar meneer K komt hier met zijn eerste uitgave op cassette. De reden om voor die geluidsdrager te kiezen blijft onduidelijk. Belangrijker: ook inhoudelijk is ‘Under My Skin’ […]

Lithuanian musician Gintas K released his new work on Crónica label called Under My Skin. This is a cassette release in limited edition of 100 copies. I think that with Under My Skin album the author found his original sound, which he was reaching for a long time. I’ve listened to a number of his […]

Para estudar. O título pode, à partida, parecer enganador. Só quando chegamos aos minutos finais de “Under My Skin”, tema homónimo que é um de dois pontos finais do disco, e ao sample rouco da canção de Frank Sinatra com o mesmo nome, é que percebemos que existe, aqui, algo de humano ou de carnal; […]
