Budynės

by Daina Dieva

supported by

smurfejus The chanting field recording material could have created a strong base for the album. Unfortunately out of 3 hours of material one hears the chanting for a few minutes and it is distorted to the point of being incomprehensible. The soundscapes seem very familiar to the genre to the point of being boring. Other realeases of Daina Dieva are a lot more intriguing and recommended.

Budynės. Sonata gęstančiai šviesai (The Wake. Sonata for the dying light) is a mourning ritual. I am mourning for those that are now being lost. It is a chant for all those that speak the languages we've never heard and those we have forgotten, all those that are beyond our field of vision: above, beneath, around us, all those that make the world we've come into, a habitable place it is.

This sonata is born out of grief in the ecosystem that is transforming in a terrifying way in front of our eyes: the skies emptying out, the ocean dying away, the birdsongs dissolving in a hum of manmade machines.

The composition has been in a (mental) process for nearly two years: from the initial writings, to recordings of "Žemaičių kalvos" - "Hills of Samogitia" (according to the tradition of Western Lithuania - a three hour chant, meant to guide the dear departed towards the other side and create a space for mourning for those that stay), to composing, performing and recording it. Over that period, my field recordings show, natural world around me grew ever more silent, while the anthropogenic noise - ever louder.

Custodi
by Carlo Giustini

supported by 6 fans who also own “Budynės”

Take the shimmering guitars of the Cocteau Twins, dilate and lengthen with the wistfulness of Boards of Canada and release them like one of Robert Rich’s haunting soundscapes with a jazz coda and you have Carlo Giustini's 'Custodi'. It's brilliant. sepulchre19
