Kuprevicius, Giedrius
Erotidijos (2lp)
Another reissue on chOOn!! is Giedrius Kuprevicius' 'Erotidijos', the sixth release from the label that specialises in obscure, archival and forgotten releases. 'Erotidijos' translates from the Lithuanian to "Erotidies" - these were festivals held in honour of Eros, God of Love in Ancient Greece. This project is a haunting yet hypnotic tableaux Kuprevicius originally created for a Stanislovas Rubinovas' theatre play staged in 1994 in Kaunas, Lithuania. The Lithuanian composer was one of the founding members of the pioneering electronic pop outfit Argo and has written dozens of scores for stage and film over the past several decades, imbuing his soundwork with a multitude of artful moods and emotive depth. Comes on 180 gram vinyl.
