klusadaba

The Klusa Daba project was planned to become a collection of worlds ambient music, to understand the field and its synthesis with video art, offering annual meeting with definite worlds region music presentation live. The Baltic countries were introduced in 2006, Nordic countries – in 2007, and this year the emphasis is put on “space ambient” branch and ist pioneer from USA Robert Rich.
The number of vjs and ambient music producers in Latvia is not big, in comparison with worlds experience, and they are acting only on their own enthusiasm, but it should be accented, that these artists are already qualified internationally. They were finally noticed in Latvia after the 2006 year fest, and ambient music and video art is acepted as a serious and professional form of art. Thanks to the Klusa Daba fest much successful cooperations in artists environmet have been formed and continue to develop. Latviaan artists have the opportunity to work with worlds recognized professionals in the festival network.
„Klusa Daba” 2008 is planned for the realization on the territory of the Opera Park, near the Latvian National Opera building. The stage in the form of pyramid will be built on the parking place near the entrance. The special form of the stage will help to keep the concept of the architectural lines of the main building. The first step of the stage will form a base, the second will continue the stage visually, and the upper will remain as the top of the pyramid, where the artists will perform. On the both sides of the pyramid on the second step two video screens will be placed, for video and live broadcast of the artists gig. The video will also be projected to the Opera facade. As a special video performance the great and beautiful work of Robert Rich and video artist Daniel Colvin, film “Atlas Dei” ( www.atlasdei.com ) will be shown on the big outdoor screen.
The Opera park will be illuminated in a special way, decoration with the light its trees and bushes, and of cource the central park’s fountain. The parks benches will be supplied with big umbrellas, to make a unique intimate atmosphere for the visitors.
The project is a part of International Cultural Forum White nights programm. The attendance of the festival is free.
2008.07. 04-07 Tundra Festivals @Lietuva, netalu no Kaunas

Well, KlusaDaba is going to surprise its admirers a little this year, because there are some changes in festival’s planning. The thing is, that we have taken up the glove from our Lithuanian colleagues, to participate in the biggest and well-know open-air action “TUNDRA” with or own program. The festival’s dates are July 5-7 of 2008. KD team will arrange the chill out stage in the network of “Tundra”, where you will have a chance to enjoy various music and video program, and traditionally international line-up for 48 full hours. Not only DJs, but also live artists will participate in the show. The chilling atmosphere will be created and maintained by rhythms and melodies of various genres – making you dance, meditate, swing, relax, think over, tap and clap, or just lie in the grass and see the deeper sky above… but – this is enough of letter lyrics. You will be able to feel the true music fairy tale atmosphere only on the fest itself.
Some information about “Tundra” - as it was said, this is the biggest electronic music open-air festival, that is leaded each summer at the beginning of July, on a fairy forest glade, about 100km from Vilnius. The total festival’s area is about 25 hectares, that will be shared between 4 arenas with different musical moods – traditionally the biggest and main Psy-Trance stage, the second Chill-out zone, will be maintained by KD team and Swam Tales, third – Drum’n’Bass, and Techno stage. Shiva Kitchen with vegetarian food will work on the territory of the festival, where both artists and guests will have a chance to fortify and gain strength for the full value relaxation. Some bars and teahouse are also in the plans. Various performances and installations will be organized, besides of musical sets and gigs.
Please bring your tents and sleeping bags with you, to make yourself at home.
