"Nemylejau Taves" is a sonic exploration and reinterpretation of the iconic Lithuanian 90s pop hit by countries own Madonna - Dzordana Butkute. Coming from the electronic and experimental music scene, there was always a feeling that there has been a level of elitism within this genre, that pop music is somewhat of a poorer taste and should not be listened to. As a critique of such an approach to music experience, I tried to bridge different musical worlds. This innovative cover blends modern experimental electronic arrangement, and vocal processing techniques with the the iconic lyrics of Lithuanian pop culture, offering a unique and captivating musical experience that transcends the traditional boundaries of the defined genres.
