Solo Ansamblis | LTU
ABOUT
Solo Ansamblis is a quartet that draws heavy inspiration from the seminal sounds of Bauhaus, Tuxedomoon, and Killing Joke. The artists operate at the intersection of New Wave, Cold Wave, electronic, and New Romantic aesthetics. Crucially, the group fuses these musical roots with theatrical and performative elements, frequently incorporating video projections, elaborate stage design, and striking costumes into their live sets.
LITHUANIAN FOCUS
The band performed as part of the “Lithuanian Focus” showcase. The year 2019 marks the 450th anniversary of the Union of Lublin. This jubilee provides a perfect opportunity to better understand—and essentially rediscover—Lithuania, our northeastern neighbor, which is still primarily perceived in Poland through the lens of the Romantic era.
In constructing a musical panorama of Lithuania for the Rise of Eastern Culture – Different Sounds festival, we aimed to capture a variety of genres and phenomena. Our goal was to showcase the broadest possible spectrum of what currently shapes the identity and uniqueness of this Baltic country’s scene. The “Lithuanian Focus” program was created in cooperation with the Embassy of the Republic of Lithuania in Poland, the Lithuanian Culture Institute, the Lithuanian Film Centre, the M.K. Čiurlionis National Museum of Art, and the Lithuanian Photographers Association, with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Lithuania.
