Installation and performance of self-made instruments and workshop
Kamile is a sound artist based in Vilnius. At the moment her practice as a sound artist involves many different forms of DIY ranging from building lo-fi loopers to building more sacral-sounding instruments like tubular chimes.
Sholto Dobie was born in Edinburgh and lives in Vilnius. He works with sound, music, and performances as well as organizing events and exhibitions. He uses loose structures and an array of sound sources including home-made organs, hurdy-gurdy, and field recordings.
Their self-built instruments, based on organs and bells, usually belong to gatherings and specific buildings such as churches and clock towers. But in both of their work, they remove the walls and architecture, leaving the core materials of the instruments.
Both artists are paying attention to making instruments as light weighted and portable as possible, unlike the instruments from which they drew their inspiration from, their deconstructed mutating sound objects are made to travel.
For their performance they will present a semi-improvised performance, exploring their materials together and searching for overlaps between their archaic instruments and the foyer of Kaunas Drama Theatre.
After the performance, there will be an interactive workshop where artists gonna present their instruments, and the audience is invited to interact/play and have a lot of fun together.

Running time: 85 min plus an interval
