His early experiments were based on action art and a post-Fluxus aesthetic. During the 1990s, he was the leader of Modus, one of the first electronic industrial music projects in Lithuania. Recently, Gintas K has been immersed in the exploration of sound structures, in addition to taking part in different cultural events and releasing records both in Lithuania and abroad.<br \/>\nSince 1999, he has been known mainly as a solo performer of electroacoustic music, although the term on its own is probably too restricting to describe his compositions, which employ sound solutions attributable to a wider range of definitions, some of which can be heard on this CD. In addition to various sounds from the environment, the aesthetic of synthetic computer-generated music is also evident. It can be felt in the granulated structures of his pieces, in the points of microsound suspended in tension, and in the combinations of sonority of digital nature. Sometimes they even become tonal, and are wafted by the flow of ephemeral melodics, to create a space charged with emotion. The term \u2018ambient music\u2019 seems cautiously appropriate in such cases, although the \u2018climate\u2019 does not contribute to a thoroughly elegiac atmosphere. The harmony remains extremely restrained, as changes in the form are much more important here. The soft tones gradually assume jagged and even abrasive forms, while the sounds isolated by spacious pauses arrive at boiling point, with their particles vibrating. The combinations of sonority mentioned, together with sounds from the environment, generate a perception of distance in Gintas K\u2019s music, to evoke associations of finding oneself at an indistinct but conceivable point in space. His compositions occasionally include rhythmic structures too, with features reminiscent of minimal\/post-techno. They and other elements bring forward low frequencies, to be experienced through the human body (which become objects of exploration in their own right in his other compositions); and they highlight the attention he pays to the physical aspects of the sound and its mass.<br \/>\nThe pieces on the CD Message in a Bottle create a panorama of Gintas K\u2019s oeuvre, spanning the entire decade, dotted with all the genre-related features described here. Nevertheless, the last part of the picture is the listener\u2019s private experience, which expands as s\/he unrolls the sound message from the bottle. <\/p>\n<p>Gintas K (Gintas Kraptavi?ius, g. 1969) \u2013 Lietuvos garso menininkas ir eksperimentin?s elektronin?s muzikos k?r?jas, taip pat veikiantis performans?, instaliacij? bei tarpdisciplininio meno srityse. Ankstyvajai jo k?rybai b?dinga akcionistin?, post-fluxus estetika. XX a. 10-ame de\u0161imtmetyje jis buvo \u201eModus\u201c \u2013 vieno pirm?j? elektronin?s industrin?s muzikos projekt? Lietuvoje \u2013 lyderis. \u0160iuo metu Gintas K aktyviai tyrin?ja garso strukt?ras, dalyvauja ?vairiuose renginiuose ir leid\u017eia ?ra\u0161us Lietuvoje bei u\u017esienyje.<br \/>\nNuo 1999 met? Gintas K susitelk? ? solin? k?ryb?, kuri? apibr?\u017eti galima pasirinkus elektroakustikos termin?, ta?iau ? j? ?sprausti menininko muzik? b?t? netikslinga, nes jis naudojasi platesnei apib?dinim? skalei priskirtinais garsiniais sprendimais (tai galima gird?ti \u0161iame CD esan?iuose k?riniuose). Greta ?vairi? aplinkos ?ra\u0161? garsyn?, ne ma\u017eiau ry\u0161ki ir sintetin?s kompiuterin?s muzikos estetika. Ji jau?iama granuliuotose k?rini? strukt?rose, ?tampoje pakibusiuose microsound ta\u0161kuose ar skaitmenin?s kilm?s garsyn? derm?se. Kai kada \u0161ie netgi tampa tonal?s ir yra plukdomi efemeri\u0161kos melodikos t?kme, taip kuriant emocin? erdv?. Tokiais atvejais galima b?t? atsargiai pavartoti ir ambientin?s muzikos apibr?\u017eim?, nors min?tas \u201eklimatas\u201c ir nesukuria itin elegi\u0161kos atmosferos. Harmonija i\u0161lieka itin nuosaiki, daug svarbesni ?ia yra pa?ios formos kitimai. Mink\u0161ti tonai pama\u017eu ?gauna \u0161erpetotas, netgi abrazyvias formas, o erdviomis pauz?mis izoliuoti garsai u\u017everda iki tankaus daleli? jud?jimo. Atstumo nuojaut? Ginto K muzikoje generuoja ne tik min?tosios derm?s, bet ir aplinkos garsai, i\u0161\u0161aukiantys buvimo neapibr?\u017etame (bet nusp?jamame) erdv?s ta\u0161ke asociacijas. Retkar?iais menininko kompozicijose i\u0161nyra ir ritmin?s strukt?ros, savo bruo\u017eais ver?ian?ios prisiminti minimal \/ post-techno apib?dinimus. Jose (ir ne tik) pasirei\u0161kiantys \u017eemi, k?nu juntami da\u017eniai, kurie kit? k?rini? atvejais tyrin?jami patys savaime, nurodo d?mes? ir fiziniams garso ar jo mas?s aspektams.<br \/>\n\u0160iame CD \u201eMessage in a Bottle\u201c girdimi k?riniai sukuria Ginto K k?rybin? de\u0161imtmet? pristatan?i? panoram?, kuri nusmaigstyta visomis auk\u0161?iau min?tomis \u017eanrin?mis gair?mis. Vis d?lto, paskutin? sudedamoji dalis ?ia \u2013 privati klausytojo patirtis, i\u0161ple?iama vyniojant garsin? \u017einut? i\u0161 butelio.<br \/>\ncredits<br \/>\nreleased November 2, 2015 <\/p>\n<p>Music: Gintas K<br \/>\nVykdomoji prodiuser? | Executive producer: Gail?
