Found Feelin'<BR>------------------------------<BR>"Lovely Banalities" is the
second release in Crónica from Lithuanian sound-artist Gintas K, after the much
acclaimed double CD from 2006 "Lengvai / 60 x one minute audio colours of 2kHz
sound".<BR><BR>"Lovely Banalities" presents fourteen short pieces - a collection
of miniatures, impressions, sketches, innuendos and errors - inspired on the
exceptionality and suprisingness of the quotidian, on the extraordinary
everydayness.<BR><BR>Gintas K draws analogies between these pieces and Modest
Mussorgsky's suite "Pictures at an Exhibition", mapping fourteen individual
moments, ready to be visited by the listener. The pieces of synthesized digital
music are contrasted with evocative field recordings, captured in Gintas K's
hometown of Marijampol&#279;, during a windy summer Sunday afternoon. These
are sounds of lovely and quotidian moments, unremarkable sounds that are an
evocation of forgotten and rediscovered feelings, of small and precious things
from the past that still hover in the air, that remain in the streets, somewhere
in the grass. The field recordings weave the pieces together, guiding this
auditory visit. "Lovely Banalities" thrives by its apparent formal and
structural simplicity, but this simplicity - as in everyday life - is an
illusion.<BR><BR>"Lovely Banalities" was composed by Gintas K. The lovely cover
art was created by David Muth. It was designed and mastered by
MCarvalhais.<BR>------------------------------<BR><A
