Vast Territory

Episode 1 Lily Pond
for violin, viola, cello, bass clarinet, flute

There is a certain memory of a busride in 2011 from Vilnius to Druskininkai and the experieced landscape – the vast territory.

In Episode 1 the recorded sounds around a lily pond near Drsukininkai are used for the sounding score. The musicians do an interpretation of the woods noise, birds, insects, frogs – an acoustic memory of a particular place will be transformed.

These sounds ask for devotion, for the willingness to listen INTO and to enjoy this animate silence thereby.

Rare it has become to get to experience an acoustic landscape without aircraft noise at minute intervals. Rare it has become that people take their time to perceive small changes.

Do we need a hundred-year sleep so as to have time to listen into the depth? And to give this planet time to recover from us humans?
