DOUBLE DOUBLE BASS | Domantas Pūras, Ignas Šoliūnas ir Gediminas Stepanavičius

DOUBLE DOUBLE BASS is a night of two double bass performances!!! During the evening we will hear two world premieres, three double basses and a little bit of electronics.

Evening programme:
Domantas Pūras, Ignas Šoliūnas. HOW TIME STANDS STILL for two double basses, live electronics and reverberated spaces (2023, world premiere).

Gediminas Stepanavičius. PATIENCE IS BETTER for double bass, live electronics and ambisonics (2023, world premiere).

——-

HOW TIME STANDS STILL is a subtle exploration of harmony, texture, space echoes and time.
In the composition, the performers allow themselves to search for drone-like sounds through harmonies, various strokes, extended techniques and imperfections.
The piece explores microtonality, the relationship between performers, double basses, electronics and different tuning systems. These tools provide non-standard ways to achieve consonance and dissonance. The result is a piece that is immersive and somewhat ritualistic.

PATIENCE IS BETTER is a study for live electronics as human-computer interaction. This piece studies the acoustic sound of a double bass and it’s processing in real time. The combination of these elements in an ambisonic surround sound system will create a unique and immersive sonic landscape for the listener.
