20.00: Eggshells
For two dancers and two musicians 
 
A meeting, a trajection forward. A new cell, an organism bound to grow, its fragility bringing promise. Easily shattered, available to rupture, bringing potential for emergence. A space of bodily realities and care, for building up together. For the space to turn around and inside out, its constituents meeting again in their new warm disintegrated states.
 
Movement as site-responsive. Sound as multi-perspective. 
 
Performers: Neža Kokalj, Paulina Rewucka (Movement, choreography)
Ginté Preisaitė (voice, organ, cassette tape, electronics) 
Matt Choboter (continuo organ, microtonal zither, stones)

21.00: And Then There Were The Sound Of Birds
An interdisciplinary work for movement and music.

Commissioned and performed at the 2023 CPH Organ Sound Art Festival, “And Then There Were The Sound Of Birds” explores femininity, its relation to subconscious spaces, and how movements in sound become symbiotically shared. Throughout the ongoing documentation process the motif of birds has been used to bridge the gap between conscious and subconscious terrain.

The heaviness of vigilant crows.

The gentleness of magpie leaps.

The songfulness of early morning blackbirds.

A dead pigeon on the side of the road.

The timelessness of a psychic womb from which you unwittingly enter reality. A dream that breathes at its own pace skimming the air through your organs. Swimming in liminal soup finding birds as markers for maps to meaning.

Nominated for composer of the year (2025 Danish Music Awards) he contributes to labels such as Kairos (AU), Inner Circle Music (NY), ILK Music (DK) and Songlines Recordings (CA) with music described as - “ephemeral and beautifully fragile” (Passive Aggressive, DK), “A realized musical dream” (MusicWorks, CA) and music that “expands and blows the mind” (London Jazz News).

Gintė Preisaitė (LT)
Gintė Preisaitė works with preparations of acoustic instruments as well as electronics and tape, bridging her classical background with more contemporary sonic explorations.
