Donis - Vacuum (2004)

DONIS is a well-known Lithuanian neofolk/ambient/experimental music project, the central axis of which is a multi-instrumentalist Donatas Bielkauskas. He creates and plays music using authentic and modernized Lithuanian folk as well as electronic instruments; sessional musicians are also invited to cooperate. The project is distinguished for its solid, subtle and mature sound of modern music with Baltic touch. The debut album “Deinaina” was released in a tape format in 1998, it was followed by a CD “Baltos Juodos Klajos” (“White Black Wanders” , Dangus prod . 2002), the famous work “Švilpiai” (“Whistles”, 2003), a joint project of DONIS with KŪLGRINDA “Sotvaras” (Dangus prod.), an ambient album “Vacuum” (Autarkeia, 2004), a post-folklore album “Bite Lingo” and antic "Alexandreia" (Autarkeia, 2007). From 1994 until now, DONIS collaborates with various projects: Wejdas, Notanga, Kūlgrinda, etc. Lately, Donatas pays much attention to electronic and experimental music. A wish and potentiality to experiment not only with ambient/folk music reveals itself in a project d.n.s. *About Donis* ||| Giedrius Kuprevičius (composer, dean of the Faculty of Humanities at Kaunas University of Technology): At these disturbing times of cultural transformation there are people that strive to preserve the cells of fundamental feelings and senses. Donis’ progression returning to the section of antediluvian cultural mentality is a successful attempt to convey to us the sounds of that section. Donis' ability to play with modern and archaic expression delights and comforts: his albums are an attestation of these abilities. *Official Website of the Artist* http://www.donis.lt --- Donis - "Vacuum" CD - 2004 (mp3; CBR; 320 kb/s) Autarkeia This is not the latest Donis' record. It was recorded in 1997, when Lithuania was still in deepest electronic music crisis. "Vacuum" had waited seven years for his real live in personal Donis' archive. The album consists of only one long track, that could be ascribed to "ambient' stylistics. Tough the sound of album proposes feeling of dark emptiness, it can not be described as "dark ambient". By it's influence "Vacuum" reminds "Coil's" ambient works that take you to the psychedelic trip. Extremely low generator vibration in record doesn't allow the feeling that you're high in the mountains to go out. The air is being crossed by toneless and icy sound, music motives are deep and sharp. Every stream of sound will work out as if you, the listener, are in a trip of deep emptiness. Album lasts for 65 minutes. It’s packed in a special black DVD box. We recommend you to listen to “Vacuum’ only on Hi-fi stereo. Limited edition 499 copies. Tracklist: 1.
