About Me
Twentytwentyone is a laptop quartet devoted to performances and reinterpretation of graphic and/or aleatoric scores from classical composers of xxth century and new works writen specially for the ensemble. It also performs materials of non-musical origin such as architect’s drafts, illustrations from the scientific literature and visual art. 20, 21 – these numbers refer to the certain transitional period from what we know as 20th century, with its modernistic (in the neutral sense of this word) outlook, to what is happening right now, as well as what may happen tomorrow.A performance by this ensemble could be called a concert as exhibition, or a retrospect of graphic musical notation extended with the graphical materials of non-musical origin, that are read as musical script and, through collaborative efforts, transfered into the sphere of sound.Previous performances @ Jauna Muzika 2006 (Vilnius), Muzikos Faktorius 2006 (Siauliai), Audio Art 2006 (Warsaw), Holland Festival 2007 (Amsterdam). Releases @ Mixthemixthemix, Con-v, Lithuanian Music Information and Publishing Center, Turning Sounds (in a pipeline). The authors performed by Twentytwentyone include: Cardew, Stockhausen, Tenney, Grunskis, Bumsteinas, Jurgutis, Brun, Riley, Smithson, Eggeling, Marey, Duchamp, McLaren, Arnold, Frossi.I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
