Roaming through bodies and space, they are all parts of one another. They co-create themselves, and reveal our inevitable interconnectedness. Eigatė (gait) is part of a series of acousmatic works that Marija Rasa created for multichannel audio setups. The piece is fashioned from recordings made during ordinary and less ordinary walks, and these are intertwined with delicate noise and electronic sounds. Through the use of a technique called micro-montage, Eigatė morphs into a swaying fictional soundscape that echoes the multilayered memory of the vivid and often rowdy city of Brussels.

Marija Rasa (LT/BE) is a musician and sound artist who explores sonic spatialization, texture, and fragility. Since her studies at the Institute of Sonology in The Hague (NL), she has been creating a series of acousmatic pieces for multichannel speaker setups. In these compositions, she carefully sculpts fictional soundscapes out of delicate noise, electronic sounds, and field recordings, attentively put together by using a micro montage approach. Her collaborations extend to diverse musical fields, from electroacoustic experimentation with the duo ugne&maria, with Ugnė Vyliaudaitė, to the electronic music duo forgotten plants, with Konradas Žakauskas.
