Donatas Bielkauskas
LITHUANIA
Donatas Bielkauskas is one of the brightest creators of today's post-folklore tradition in Lithuania and the creative engine of this current, whose music combines old Baltic folklore with contemporary sound interpretations. Donatas is a creator for whom music is both mastery and philosophy. It is possible to understand that music is a multifaceted phenomenon operating in different directions - sound, social, communicative - only by constantly experiencing the same multiplicity. Extensive knowledge of instruments, rhythms, music styles allow him to create unique sound projects, including both electronic and pure ambient soundscapes, in which ethnic motifs intertwine with industrial sound structures and sounds of nature and / or in situ found objects.
