Described by WQXR as a “textural magician”, Žibuokl? Martinaityt? is a New York-based Lithuanian composer whose works explore the tensions and longings of identity and place. She creates sonic environments where musical gestures emerge and disappear within transparencies and densities of sound layers. It’s music that slides on the very blades of emotions.Ms. Martinaityt?’s A Thousand Doors To The World was commissioned by the Lithuanian Radio to celebrate Vilnius being named the Culture Capital of Europe in 2009. The premiere was broadcast by Euroradio to an audience of 4 million. Her US commissions include the MATA, Look& Listen and Other Minds festivals as well as the Barlow Endowment. Žibuokl? has received residency fellowships from the MacDowell Colony, the Aaron Copland house, the Millay Colony, Harvestworks, Djerassi and the Cité des Arts (Paris).Her recent projects include an hour-long multimedia piece “In Search of Lost Beauty,” scored for piano trio, electronics, and video projections. The work invites audiences to suspend our everyday hectic worlds—to be more fully present and human.
