...when raindrops touch the face...

...the sunlight shining through my bedroom window is distorted by solitary raindrop tuplets... as close as two summers ago, on a day like this, I would have gone outside to gulp in the warmth and indulge in the face-caressing drops of freshness, which with each new contact with the skin awakens new neuron synapses that, like a wormhole, connects past, present and future memories, experiences and hopes to regain the time, which is lost in the timelessness of quarantine, thus progressively drowning me into a Proustian introspection...

Performed at Vilnius City Hall by "St. Christopher Chamber Orchestra", Conductor Modestas Barkauskas.

...kai lietaus lašai paliečia viedą...

...pro miegamojo langą sklindančią saulės šviesą sudrumsčia pavienės šiltų lietaus lašų sinkopės... juk dar užpraeitą vasarą tokiu metu būčiau ėjęs į lauką gerti šilumos ir mėgautis veidą glostančio gaivalo lašeliais, kurių kiekvienas prisiliesdamas prie odos sužadina neuronų jungtis, kurios lyg kirmgrauža sujungia esamus, buvusius ir būsimus prisiminimus, potyrius ir viltis iš naujo atrasti šį karantino belaikybėje prarastą laiką, taip vis labiau gramzdindami į Proustišką instrospekciją...

Atlieka "Šv. Kristoforo" kamerinis orkestras, dirigentas Modestas Barkauskas. Vilniaus Miesto Rotušė.

Richard Cameron-Wolfe about "Guesstimations":

During my first listening to Linda Leimane's Chamber Symphony, I attempted to experience it (typically) as a linear event, progressing toward a climactic moment and conclusion. But I soon realized that this music was an entity, a kind of sonic object. My experience during the second listening was circular, comparable to a person slowly walking around a multi-textured sculpture. As with the perception of music unfolding over a period of time, I also could not "see" this entire sound-object at any moment. On third listening, I realized that I had not travelled full-circle around this sound-object, for I did not arrive where I had started. I realized that I was on an ever-mutating spiral.

per sense

"Corpi Celesti", for five voices(2014)
From the Book of madrigals "Il Libro dei Margini" © Casa Ricordi.

The piece represents the nightmare of being one of the people who jumped off the Twin Towers. It’s a dilatation of the 10 seconds flight (aerial sounds, disturbances in audio communications, several cuts) and a "cantus post mortem" at the end. This madrigal has no text.

Exaudi Vocal ensemble. Live recording of the WP at LSO St Luke's, London. Open Ear. BBC Radio 3.
 
Dedication: to the ones who reversed the sky
