Practicing mindful listening as a method of composition

It is very naive - to record the surrounding sounds, listen to the trees, roots, and wind, and accidentally grab snatches of conversations, and phrases. At the same time, even the usual murmur of a stream can become a symphony, and the buzz of a fly can become a dramatic solo.
In these 5 compositions, there are 5 soundscapes of Samogitia, from the Japanese Garden to the Juozas Laivis Art Cemetery.

The topic of my research is “Power of voice”. Voice of a human, nature, society, every little creature has a voice and a meaning, doesn't matter how loud it is. Everything I do is near voice and music, doesn't matter which media or material I use. Creating modern lullabies, video art or dance performance - it's all about the voice. In my work, I start from the idea of a "sounding body" in movement and action.
