Linas Kutavičius & Paulius Kilbauskas - Amberscope  
The analog light scope projection of crystalized past is captured in the amber and shines to your imagination. Light artist Linas Kutavičius delivers the visual inspiration by projecting natural Baltic amber pieces through his original design analog light beamers. Composer and musician Paulius Kilbauskas becomes the story teller. Audience smoothly dives into a meditation mode whenever their mood and beliefs are.

M. Kardinal & Monocube - APPARITIONS: III. Substratum
APPARITIONS: III. Substratum, the audiovisual performance of M. Kardinal & Monocube is the third part of APPARITIONS series to reflect and embody elusive happenings beyond human’s perception using analog technique.

The visual motifs in APPARITIONS: III. Substratum are based on found VHS-footage which is released from its original content and form during the analog manipulation. For the analog processing, M. Kardinal uses a modified video-processor from the 1990s and alters the images in real-time. Monocube is exploring the field of the post-industrial music scene: dark ambient, drone, noise and experimental electronics using mostly analog instruments, including modular synthesizer which creates a monolith atmosphere and sonic density for the APPARITIONS series of performances.

III. Substratum: An inner garden, a sacrament place for the one who yearns and seeks the place to restore themselves from the shattered cosmos. Slowly emerging into the light - one’s nature reveals itself exposing the beauty of a human mind’s substratum. Imagine a Hortus Amoris, which provides bewildering path into inner life and having a cryptic dialogue with themselves.

Every frame and sound have a mythical and primordial tones in the performance of M. Kardinal & Monocube, one has the visions and the imminent reflection of them in streams of semiconsciousness, invoking love, acceptance and sacrifice. An inner place to be - to overcome the contemporary malaise of spiritual alienation and the maelstrom of the unconscious.
