Watch the video reportage of Marija Rasa talking about her artistic background ant her new multichannel piece commissioned by INA grm, titled Eigatė.

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

INA grm also facilitated a residency period, during which Marija Rasa worked at GRM’s specialised sound studios in Paris to compose the piece. The composition premiered in May 2024 at INA grm’s Akousma concert series in Paris, France.

Premiere: 2024
