In June, "Sonic Vilnius" sound walks started in Vilnius. This is a series of sound walks implemented by the Kirtimiu Cultural Center, which encourages listening to the sounds of the environment and exploring the diverse sounds of Vilnius microdistricts. In the walks taking place in the selected micro-districts of Vilnius, the registered participants together with the moderators, who explore sound in their creative activities, traveled in small groups along pre-arranged routes, listening to the environment together, and recording relevant, interesting sounds with sound recording devices. November 2 at 19 p.m. Kirtimiu Cultural Center invites you to come and listen to the audio montages of the sound environment of Vilnius micro-districts.
In the summer, composer Yiorgis Sakellariou (Greece) traveled around the old town and Šnipiške with the participants, and radio journalist Marielle Vitureau (France) traveled around Markučius. What is the sound of Vilnius? How do the sounds of Vilnius evoke and create memories? What thoughts and feelings come to us when we listen to the city loudspeaker? How do we relate to the sound environment around us and how do we perceive ourselves within its boundaries? Sonic Vilnius participants examined such questions during a sound walk, carefully listening and recording environmental sounds.
Soundtrack auditions for "Sonic Vilnius" will be held at Kirtimiu Cultural Center on November 2. at 19 p.m.
