Sonorous Desert_chapter 1_soundscape

New show in PSR! 
🫧 IKRA Selects 001:
Ugnė Makselytė, aka. Davai Bėgam and her LP / audio-fairytale "Sirijaus Akys". https://soundcloud.com/davai-begam
An exploration of baltic mythology and current day self-analysis, meshing into a narrative about losing oneself in dreams and visions. A retelling of the hero's journey in sound design, textures and distant, yet fervorous sonic movements towards the unknown.

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.

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.

Urubu feat J. Abramovay - Sokak

A few weeks ago I did a show on nts where I played Somali music and since it was shortly after Pauline Oliveros’ passing I dedicated the show to her and ended with two of her pieces. Not long after I finished the show I was honoured to have a long chat with Axmed Naaji who imo is one of the greatest artists to ever do it. One of the things we talked about was the track ‘Diinle Kabiirow’ which I played in the show and here is a summary of what he told me about it:

“The original version of Diinle Kabiirow is over a century old and it is about an important figure in the Reer Hamar clan. So it was a traditional song only known by that clan and in the late 50s when we started to make musicals we reworked some of the traditional Reer Hamar music of which Diinle Kabiirow was one of the first. Then in the 70s we reworked Diinle Kabiirow again and even changed the lyrics for Xabiib Sharaabi, which is the version you played on your radio show.”
