Performa is an album that seeks to invent a new narrative and break free from the norm. The project’s journey began as an audiovisual concert and has manifested itself into an album that seeks to reimagine form, sensation, and exploration. The album is packaged inside carefully selected paper, an embossed cover with delicate screen printing, and inside, you’ll find a double-sided CD paired with QR codes that extend the level of interaction and art forms that further the use of multiple senses. Although this album intends to inspire you to use as many senses as possible, it’s fascinating that the cover is so moody with its plain black design. The juxtaposition shows how fascinating the world is when we interact with each of our senses within the same main art piece.
AESTHETIC OF ‘PERFORMA’ ALBUM Not only to hear, to see, but also to touch, feel, seek and discover. ‘Performa’ is an audiovisual project that unifies digital art and contemporary music. 6 musical pieces, written by 6 young composers known in Lithuania and around the world, were combined by contemporary music ensemble ‘Twenty Fingers Duo’. Album visuals was designed by project co-author, visual artist Lauryna Narkeviciute who also created six artworks for the live performance, based on primary ideas and conceptual outlines suggested by composers. The main visual axis of ‘Performa’ album is form, sensation and exploration. Meticulously selected textured paper, embossed press cover, rich color screen printing, a booklet bound with black threads, a double-sided black CD, smart QR codes, minimal but purposeful compositional design details, references wrapped in symbols continue the audiovisual journey and the ongoing game with our senses.
