Dana Indane-Surkiene / Skatuve / SONGS OF MOTHER AND FIELD
Within it’s concert programme, festival “Būtība” welcomes voice improvisation artist Dana Indāne – Surkienė, presenting authentic voice improvisations, poetry from the time of pregnancy together with nature sounds from the field recordings made by Maksims Šenteļevs as in their latest music album - “Songs of Mother and Field” (“Gaidību dziesmas”, 2021). “Songs of Mother and Field” uncover the fragile enchantment of an expectant mother addressing her child in a gentle, subtle sequence of songs that are sung in a universal tongue of primordial love. A mother’s voice is strengthened by the sound of natural wilderness, uncovering a feeling of omnipresence deep within.  With a devout documentary approach, nine “field sound tales” reveal meditative vocal improvisations recorded during pregnancy. The album combines the voice of Latvian born, Lithuania based free improvisation artist Dana Indane-Surkiene and field recordings of sound artist Maksims Shentelevs. In this solo programme Dana Indāne – Surkienė will guide audience towards soul space where inner child is met by a loving and present parent. This will be a time for relaxing, resting and integrating experiences, gained during festival’s workshops and rituals.
