Composer, conductor, and ensemble founder Vykintas Baltakas

Programme: Thierry De Mey

Together with the dancers, Lithuanian Ensemble Network (LENsemble), led by composer and conductor Vykintas Baltakas, appears in Moving Sound. This contemporary music ensemble brings together professional performers to create new works and explore unconventional concert experiences. Baltakas’s artistic activities encompass composition, conducting, and active participation in the international contemporary music scene.

Within the festival programme, these artists present SIMPLEXITY by Belgian composer, filmmaker, and interdisciplinary artist Thierry De Mey. For the composer, it is not only the sound itself that matters, but also the way it comes into being — the performer’s movement, the impulse of the body, physical energy, and the visible process of musical creation.

The title SIMPLEXITY encodes a tension between simplicity and complexity. The work explores how complex structures can emerge from simple gestures and movements, how precisely organised actions can transform into music, and how the body becomes an inseparable part of the score. Here, dancers and musicians are not separate worlds; they function as a single mechanism in which every movement carries a sonic meaning and every sound takes on a physical form.

The audience is invited to observe not only the final result but also the very process of music coming into existence: the breathing, tension, movement, and live responses of the performers. Moving Sound reveals music as an action — a visible, physical, and constantly evolving process in which the body becomes one of the most essential instruments.
