Sound Meditation by Piano Phase Project
January 22 | 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm
UK Premiere of the SOUND MEDITATION film – A Project by Piano Phase featuring Čiurlionis’ Forest in Canada
by pianists Monika Lozinskiene and Anna Szalucka
The international duo “Piano Phase Project” presents their latest creative work – the artistic film “Sound Meditation” created in the forests of Western Canada, exploring the connection between humans, forests, music, and community. Pianists Monika Lozinskienė and Anna Szalucka spent three weeks in August 2023 at an artist residency in Gibsons, Canada, collaborating intensively with the film’s producer and director, Bruce Devereux (Canada), and Japanese artist Makiko Kitama, who painted forest canvases inspired by M. K. Čiurlionis’ works.
The concept for this film originated when the pianists created an original arrangement for M.K. Čiurlionis’ symphonic poem “In the Forest” for four hands on the piano. The artists were inspired by the mysticism & fantasy of Čiurlionis’ work and his innovative look at combining different art forms.
The “Sound Meditation” project is a synthesis of visual arts, nature, classical, improvisational, and electronic music.
Project is partly funded by the Vilnius municipality culture fund and Lithuanian Council for Culture, supported by the Polish Institute in London.
