Special ambisonic session

Tommy Lawson (France)

“König”: Electronic piece composed initially for the An Donham virtual reality device by Gaëtan Le Coarer (based on an Irish legend).

Goolash: Composed following a series of reading/sound performances with a schoolgirl in 2 prisons in Corsica, Goolash refers to the Gulag and the confinement/isolation that the “visitor” can feel during these few hours spent in prison. We come out free to be able to return to our comfortable world while the prisoners remain locked up!

Roberto Becerra, Manuel Velazquez (Mexico) and Egle Murauskaite (Lithuania)

“War Data” : Electro acoustic spatial piece made mostly of samples, composed for the 1st anniversary of the war in Ukraine.

Kotryna Kvedarytė (Lithuania)

“Ringing to calmness” : Field recording piece focusing on the sound of Vilnius bells and the river Vilnele to capture a sense of calmness, to pause and reflect.
