Accordions
at 'Jauna Muzika' Festival - Lithuania
From
April 17th to 23rd, 'Jauna Muzika', an event that is the second
most important event of new music in Lithuania after the 'Gaida'
festival was held. The accordion was featured prominently, with
accordionist and composer Raimondas
Sviackevicius performing his latest projects. One concert was
dedicated to Lithuanian composers.
One work, by Donatas Prusevicius, 'A Piacere', for accordion, voice
and surround system, was played in the Contemporary Art Center.
'Piece' was dedicated to the late Pope John Paul 11, and Vilija
Sulcaite wrote the text. Accordion was used in an original way,
all possibilities and sound techniques were mixed with voice and
electronic background. The surround system played an important role
in this work, which was written in a free structural form.
A work by Ramunas Motiekaitis 'Apsup(k)ti', written for accordion
and electronics, also used surround system sound. The idea of that
piece was to show how the accordion adapts to very unusual material.
The composer used very high accordion registers to create a more
intensive and 'crazy' feeling. Sounds for the background music were
selected from different live acoustic sounds and were electronically
transformed. The extremely high volume level caused the audience
a very big shock, but the results were very well received.
The second concert that included accordion music was 'Lithuanian
Multimedia Premieres'. American composer True Rosaschi, who is currently
living in Lithuania, wrote a piece named '40 days - 40 nights for
Live Accordion', involving accordions, EPS sound system and live
surround electronics. For the first time accordions were used performing
through the Internet. R.
Sviackevicius played on stage in Tolerance Center, Vilnius,
at the same time Pauline Oliveros in New York (well known composer
and accordionist) responded to live material through Internet, and
composer True Rosaschi made the electronics live, controlling all
processes.
The work was written in four very different parts, from very loud
fff chords in the beginning to very soft and beautiful harmonic
textures, using a wide range of accordion sounds. The accordion
parts, using players on two different continents, also involved
much improvisational material. The project was high acclaimed by
music critics and composers alike.
