SUSIKIRTIMAI XXXVI | EIII (LV) + SANDER SAARMETS (EE) + Rytis Koreniukas

SUSIKIRTIMAI is a series of sound art and experimental music events that has become one of the signatures of Kirtimai Culture Centre.

On Thursday, October 8, at 19:30, Kirtimai Culture Center presents the 36th edition of SUSIKIRTIMAI, featuring EIII (LV), SANDER SAARMETS (EE) and Rytis Koreniukas.

EIII is the solo project of Latvian sound artist Arvis Ahuns, moving between experimental electronics, dark ambient, drone and noise. His practice explores the intersection of synthesized sound, field recording and material resonance, transforming environmental recordings, electromagnetic signals, feedback systems and electronic synthesis into immersive, multilayered compositions.

EIII’s live performances combine composed material with improvisation, creating spatial sonic experiences that respond to the acoustics of each venue. In 2026, UK experimental label Opal Tapes released his third album, Emanations. Its predecessor, Refractions, received Latvia’s Zelta Mikrofons award for Best Electronic or Dance Music Album.

Sander Saarmets is an Estonian composer, sound designer and electronic musician exploring the relationships between sound, place and memory. In recent years, his practice has centred around modular synthesis, which he uses to create immersive and tactile sonic environments.

His work spans solo and ensemble compositions, film, dance, galleries and fashion, with appearances from Taiwan to France. His piece and the sky turned yellow was highlighted at the 69th International Rostrum of Composers, while his latest solo album, Bleu Précieux, follows earlier releases created under the aliases Muschraum and V4R1.

Rytis Koreniukas shares: “Right now, I’d like to play about pakasiukai and sloniai, maumūnai and baubūnai, green-faced creatures and insect-trees, the language of mermaids’ blue palms, and cranes turning the sky into water. At the concert, I’ll play whatever allows itself to be played that day.”

And we’ll add this: dwelling somewhere in the underground, Rytis Koreniukas likes to work with loops, samples, synthesizer sounds and angular rhythms, mixing IDM, ambient, drone, glitch and noise.
