Abiding in Sound (2016)

‘Abiding in Sound’ tries to rebuild the same sensation produced by the meditation. The practice describes a meditation where you imagine being the ‘syllable on the tongue of a deity dancing in fire’. A moment where you are on the brink between sound and the void. A moment where everything is so abstracted it is a pure distortion of itself. The trumpets enact this sensation by emulating the self. The gestures blasted into their specific resonators produce a curious interaction between what is said and what is retorted.

Dedicated to Juste Janulyte and Justina Repeckaite.

Performed by Robertas Servenikas and the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra
