Memories Through an Infinite Canon / audio / 5 min / 2021
The sound piece 'Memories Through an Infinite Canon' was specifically created to accompany the 'I For Nested Pattern' photo works. The style of the songs heard throughout the piece, is called ‘rounds’ or ‘infinite canons’. The theme of the music is sunrise and sundown. I found these songs on a Lithuanian folk record which was recorded in 1971 (in USSR). For Lithuanians, rounds are archaic, mostly used for daily activities as well as ritual purposes, and contain elements of pagan faith. During the sound piece, the background songs intertwine with my dreams, memories of my grandparents, and ancestral connections, exploring themes of life and death. The narrative unfolds poetically, creating a symbiotic relationship between the music and my spoken reflections.
