The \u201cSenis ir Ju\u0304ra\u201d sonopoetic performance is the third and last event of this year’s “City Sonic – Vilnius” – a sound experiential composition based on Ernest Hemingway’s novel “The Old Man and the Sea” written in 1951 when the writer\/journalist was living in Cuba.<\/p>\n
This Hemingway’ epic novel\u00a0 is loved by a range of readers all over the world, as it is very simple, realistic and close to human everyday life, but at the same time embracing a wide range of philosophical and psychological questions and symbolic meanings.<\/p>\n
The performers reveal human emotions, feelings, and states woven into this fight between Man and Nature: determination, joy, triumph, exhaustion, depression, despair, loneliness, rage, regret, resignation…<\/p>\n
The audience is invited to participate in this performance as an active listening session, which will be followed by a discussion about the experiences and feelings of the listeners and the anxieties, experiences, and long-term hardships experienced by the person revealed in the literary work of the main novella character, Santiago, the old fisherman.<\/p>\n
The ambisonic sound system is used for an sonopoetic performance that enhances the experience of active listening and immersion into sound.<\/p>\n

Jok\u016bbas Preik\u0161a<\/strong><\/h6>\n
Now a doctoral student at the Center for Physical and Technical Sciences, Jok\u016bbas has been a DJ in many Lithuanian festivals and pubs. In 2017, the artist left Lithuania to study in Poland, he bought his first synthesizers and began to understand the free software VCV Rack, a virtual analog modular synthesizer. He created the electronic music group “El Chico Fuendre” with composers Domantas P\u016bras and Ignas \u0160oli\u016bnas.<\/p>\n
Today, Jok\u016bbas integrates its modular synthesis systems with VCV software, which it uses for group and solo performances.<\/p>\n
Although formed by computer algorithms which give great richness and an assertive complexity to its production, the sound of Jok\u016bbas Preik\u0161a remains strongly analogical. With a purely live approach to his sound creation, Preik\u0161a wants, in a way, to present himself as the conductor of his ensemble of instruments.<\/p>\n
