••• The audio montage of listeners' impressions and sonic environment in Antakalnis (Vilnius, Lithuania) •••

“Antakalnis is the greenest district of Vilnius, located along the Neris river. However, in addition to nature and peace, Antakalnis has important city and country objects: polyclinics and hospitals, the Military Academy of Lithuania, a trolleybus park, a cemetery and of course churches. We invite you to listen and record how the sound layers of different environments intertwine in this district and rethink what is the human role in shaping sonic environments.” - Inga Janiulytė-Temporin

Recording date: 16th of September, 2021

••• The audio montage of listeners‘ impressions and sonic environment in Jeruzalė (Vilnius, Lithuania) •••

“The soundwalk invites the participants to an experience where sound is the primary sensorial medium. Active listening will be the main method of navigation around and through the environment with the aim to wander across irregular paths and discover hidden meanings and emotions. Furthermore, the soundwalk will not focus exclusively on the soundscape. In a participatory and reflective spirit, listeners will be encouraged to share their impressions, memories and understandings of the sound world and create a collective auto-ethnography, an aural history of Jeruzalė.” - Yiorgis Sakellariou

Recording date: 9th of October, 2021

••• The audio montage of Markučiai (Vilnius, Lithuania) •••

“Markučiai is in the outskirt of Vilnius, a microdistrict who narrates the transformation of the city. During our walk, going down and up the hill, we were listening to Markučiai - how city's life reflects, how Markučiai has its own sound life and how both are mixed. ” - Marielle Vitureau

“the radio scanner antennas catch the airport information channel. chatters of passers-by on a low frequencies bridge. the coded meteorological forecast is interrupted by a landing plane and frozen with eyes closed we hear the quietest sound one after another in the cacophony of cars flying somewhere.” - Audrius Šimkūnas

••• The audio montage of sonic environment in Kalnai Park/Užupis (Vilnius, Lithuania) •••

“The soundscape of Vilnius is like the soundtrack of a film. It tells, evolves, mutates, changes every moment. Sound sources of natural origin are being masked by newly emerging artificial elements - sometimes they obscure, sometimes interact, sometimes destroy, and sometimes, after performing their temporary role, they retreat again.” - Vytis Puronas

Recording date: 1st of August, 2020.

••• The audio montage of sonic environment in Žirmūnai (Vilnius, Lithuania) •••

“This soundwalk will develop as a sonic flânerie, an exploration of the urban soundscape of Žirmūnai. It will document a psychogeography of sound to examine the effect of the architecture and the environment on the emotional and psychological changes on people’s lives. The sonic flânerie will balance between engaging with the familiar and contemporary and discovering the hidden and forgotten atmospheres and impressions of Žirmūnai.” - Yiorgis Sakellariou

Sonic Vilnius is the series of soundwalks that encourage you to listen and explore diverse sounds of Vilnius.

What is the sound of Vilnius? How do the sounds of Vilnius evoke and create memories? What thoughts and feelings do we generate when we listen into the city’s soundscape? How do we connect with our sonic environment and understand ourselves within it? (Yiorgis Sakellariou thoughts)

The project is organized by Kirtimai Culture Centre
