The music of Egidija Medekšaitė has often been described as a combination of textile patterns and Indian music. Alongside composition, the composer studied industrial design at Kaunas University of Technology, and she transfers the logic of weaving into sound: repetition, density and the layered structure of material. Her pieces resemble carpets or tapestries – large and small sonic fabrics woven from rhythmic patterns and delicate microtonal relationships. Rhythms repeat in carefully ordered sequences, gradually transforming into new ones, looping and thickening before reaching a culmination and slowly fading, like colours bleached by the sun. Within these structures one can almost sense the texture of the material: roughness, irregularities, weight and tension of long threads. Extended minimalist patterns lead the listener into a state of focused listening – somewhere between the meditation of playing, listening and weaving – where modern musical language intertwines with tradition, supported by a subtle drone.
