V O Y A G E was made as a final work for the class of electronic music composition at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The piece is based on improvisation using voice, radio and hardware pedals such as delay and reverb. Also it consits some audio collages that were inspired by the content of ASMR. Intimate sounding but hardly recognisable samples are merging here with improvised narative, expressed by voice and raw sound processing. the voice is basicaly inviting a listener to ,,come come come with me straight to the Pandemonium and let's just see what's happening there, you'll see how the freedom looks like uoapapapapaaaaaa.....''

Garso kūrinys, 22:12’

(EN below)

Kiek skirtingų garsų šiuo metu girdite? Koks garsas jums primena namus? Kuo skiriasi klausymasis nuo girdėjimo?
Tai tik keli iš klausimų, kuriuos garso menininkė ir kompozitorė Ugnė Makselytė uždavė Dainavos bendruomenės nariams vasarą vykusių susitikimų metu. Menininkė tuomet dalyvavo meno rezidencijoje Kaune, kurią organizavo Kauno bienalės vadovaujama platforma „Magic Carpets“. Rezidencijos metu Dainavos bendruomenės nariai buvo kviečiami kolektyviai išbandyti giliojo klausymosi praktikų. Naudodami profesionalius garso įrašytuvus, patys dainaviškiai surinko garsus Dainavos parke bei šeimų centro VšĮ Būkime kartu erdvėse garsovaizdžio pikniko metu. Menininkė juos visus įpynė į susimąstyti, nusišypsoti bei pasvajoti kviečiantį kūrinį.

Part of the Family, 2024
Sound piece, 22:12’

How many different sounds do you hear at the moment? Which sound reminds you of home? What is the difference between listening and hearing?
These are some of the questions that sound artist and composer Ugnė Makselytė asked the members of the Dainava community during the artist's residency in Kaunas, which was organised by Kaunas Biennial as part of the Magic Carpets platform. During the workshops, Dainava community members were invited to collectively try out deep listening practices. With the help of professional sound recorders, Dainava residents themselves collected sounds in Dainava Park and during a soundscape picnic in the spaces of the family center Let's Be Together. The artist wove them all into a piece that invites people to think, smile and dream.

ŠEIMOS DALIS

why it’s so pleasant
to see
how the object is being
destroyed
slowly

and why it’s so pleasant
to hear
how the object is being
destroyed
slowly

grey hair 
are reflection
of your childhood room
that slowly melts
into ahes

and your old tennis ball
from that childhood
reflects on an old wooden floor
that also —
helplessly melts
into ashes

it’s not really pleasant
to see
how loud people are when they cry

nor it’s pleasant
to hear
how depended they are

on an object 
that’s being destroyed
in front of their eyes

it’s so funny
to see
how they care
of an object that’s being destroyed
slowly

and how they don’t notice
that all of those objects
that seem to be safe—
are being destroyed anyways
it’s just all about different pace

of destruction

IT'S OKAY // dūno upė

Live set //  2024 07 20

KAITrA is a duo formed by Ugne Makselytė and Saule Paulikaitė specially for the Yaga Gathering 2021 festival. The project combined Butoh dance improvisation by Saulė Paulikaitė and electronic music by Ugnė Makselytė, blending elements of Lithuanian folklore with electronic dance music. The idea of combining Butoh, electronic dance music and Lithuanian folklore was born spontaneously, inspired by Gilles Deleuze's idea of the Body Without Organs, which led to the search for eclectic and unexpected creative solutions, such as the fusion of Baltic folklore motifs with the eccentric Japanese butoh dance. The artists wanted to try out a form that would not be limited to a clear representation, but would freely incorporate different elements from both artists' experiences and backgrounds, and thus embody the idea of a fundamental change as the basis of our existence.
