A week ago I had a short trip to discover a new small stream, and it was a life changing experience. The stream was beautiful, alive, clear, and wild.
Here is a new vlog-like sonic meditation which I call a short film. It's about the creek that I'm trying to explore and understand more deeply. Because this creek already is the source of so much magic in my recent years. I'm grateful for it.
Music: Martynas Jocius – Silent Knowledge (alt. Virsmai – Nebylusis Žinojimas).
A new short film that continues the saga of small forest creeks. For me this place is magical, and I come here as often as I can (but not too often) to heal and strengthen my sould and body. It's a wild place where trees fall and die naturally, where brown trouts live, and where you can see so many boulders that were brought here thousands of kilometers from the north during the last ice age.
Recorded in December 2019.
Soundtrack: A Magical Place (2019, unreleased).
"Time" is a short film about a small creek, forest, autumn, and life.
Music and video footage by Martynas Jocius (me).
Thanks for watching.
A week ago, as if by accident, there were favorable circumstances to start working on one planned long-term creative project. I packed my coffee and camera into my backpack and went for a few hours to a small beautiful creek where I was hoping to start filming a small documentary on Lithuanian trout (Salmo trutta fario).
The trip was a complete failure in terms of the goals set, but absolutely magical compared to what was actually going on.
Sun and warm wind is back for a few days. A good time to explore some wild places with the family. We say hi to this small beautiful insect.
"Pine Seed", a draft generative loop for a new song.
Small waters are a habitat for often rare and mysterious animals. This tiny stream might be one of the last places where nearly extinct species of mayflies or stoneflies live, or it may be the home for only healthy species. You never know unless you start exploring and paying attention.
I've recorded this short video clip while visiting one small stream today, and it played well with "Biodiversity" song that I plan to release some time in the future. Hopefully soon.
