Patris - VJV Live (2018)

Patris aka Patris Židelevičius is exploring the boundaries of cello by combining the classical instrument with field-recordings, analogue and digital sounds. Each performance is a prepared improvisation in which Patris seeks to explore and discover new textures, consonances and dissonances. Subtle melodies and sounds are combined into multi-layered soundscapes and feature properties of ambient, drone, musique concrète and other contemporary music genres.

VJV Live EP includes the live improvisations recorded at Viljandi (Estonia), Jonava and Vilnius (Lithuania). The EP is accomplished with a bonus track Intermezzo – an instrumental piece, which (classically) is either a movement between two others in a larger work, or a character piece, which could stand on its own.
