Gintas K - Elementary Particles

Every age has it’s own instruments and instruments have their own timbres. A computer has become the main instrument in our time; sine waves and white noise - it’s generated and most frequently used timbres.

I created this podcasti by using 5 components and their symbolic meanings: 145 Hz and 235 Hz sine waves which are basici frequencies of male and female speech – harmony; white noise - disharmony; 80 Hz sine wave which sometimes goes below the scale of human hearing – hell; 10 KHz sine wave which goes above the scale of human hearing – heaven. 80 Hz and 10 KHz reveal musical infinity and human limitation and, in some way, human possibility to create infinity from his limitations.

Work consists of intro, outro, and four parts, that symbolize earth and the order of mankind. Rhythm as a driving force of living is a key element in all parts. Does this concept mean that I’m trying to create the universe of spheres? - No. Does it mean that conception is more important than music? For sure – not. Does it mean that music is above everything? - But music in these times doesn’t exist ... there is only sound art.
