Working with acoustic self-made instruments and everyday materials, Dobie’s and Gurina’s joint performance pays special attention to site-specific approaches and the use of autonomous sound objects. Their sonic world unfolds through loose structures and subtle transformations, forming invisible landscapes and channels for the listener to move through.
Alanas Gurinas is an interdisciplinary artist who creates in the field of sonic performances and audio-visual installations. In his sonic practice he explores sound as a textural phenomenon, the themes of ephemerality and relations between various hearable and unhearable objects and spaces.
Sholto Dobie was born in Edinburgh and lives in Vilnius. He is an artist and organiser working across various sound-related contexts. In his performances he uses various sound sources including self-made pipe instruments, accordions, and voice that both reflect and integrate interests in sonic phenomenon, traditional instrument construction and folklore.
