R. Naujanytė-Bjelle: my house is a scene



[ad_1]

The performer, musician, composer Raminta Naujanytė-Bjelle is well known for those who are interested in the musical life of the country and those who know only the ether. The open minded television and radio of Raminta speak to us of an incomparable sense of creativity, sharing plans for the future. By listening to them, it becomes clearer why he succumbs to what he touches: when you do what you really love, you can not be otherwise.

– Not only are you creating music, but you are becoming, you are writing queues. In all these areas, are you the same personality trying to reveal the same themes, or maybe you have a distinct alter ego waking up for each creative branch?

– Talking about who I am is very difficult. I do not try to reveal anything, I do not feel personally (smile). Just by using more of a means of expression, I change. I have not become a long time, I write more and more poems. The creation also evolves according to the state, expressions of certain experiences, experimentation and the search for a new sound. It seems to me that everything goes without saying. I do not understand one of my goals – I can not hold myself back for anything that diffuse different art forms I want to share.

– It is difficult to list all your existing and existing activities – from political and educational projects to voices, composers and conductors. Is any activity more cute and closer?

– I am not able to do a single activity, so I have tested so many different areas. Right now, I want to spend so much time as an artist and stage conductor on stage. My house is a scene.

– You said that the musical comments, the impact on people are very important to you. Perhaps during your music career you have memorized comments about your work that have patted your heart and made you understand that you are on the right track?

– I do not know what it is. Go where he shoots. And when he pulls it, he also sails (smiles). It's important to me that people do not feel indifferent, and I do not really remember words, comments, praise. It is important that the music touches, touches.

– In an interview about inspiration, you said, "Sometimes it burns, a flashing flash, and sometimes scratches hard to adjust." Did you have longer slips when you did not go to the muses? In general, can they be called?

– Yes, there were also periods of stagnation, the blank sheet. But a friend told me, "Parking is expensive." This is true. Other people say that creativity is like muscle – it can be driven. I partly agree with this statement, but I think it is possible to work on hours of work because there are many different steps. For example, I get an impulse that motivates the idea (that's the most enjoyable part of the creative process), then I try to capture the idea as accurately as possible, and then I take the time to refine it to improve it. The process of recording the song continues, new experiences and new looks come back to the original idea … And so endless bathed in discoveries and solutions at the edge of the country.

– What does feeling imply in creation? Is it possible to describe it in words and compare it with someone?

– Divine (smiles)

– You said that on a contemporary Lithuanian scene there is a lack of responsibility, an intellectual value of the songs, feel

– I will not say anything new, I can not than to rejoice that more and more musicians are preparing their work for the listener.

The television project was like a wave of tsunami. The difference is very strong.

– Women working in various artistic fields often say that they do not feel valued enough just because there are women, and that's where men and women get a winner and a bonus with an easy hand. . Has she ever encountered similar cases of discrimination?

– I think that if she has a strong idea, she believes at the end of the toes and eyelashes, if she does not sleep peacefully and wakes up in the morning to his huge strong thought, there is more to badism problem Yes, there are various situations on the way, and I was there. But a bigger problem is if you start to doubt what you are doing.

– What kind of creators, not necessarily music, were the most fascinated by culture?

– Teen Deities – Nina Hagen (Punk Mother), Blue Man Group, Radiohead. Now I have fallen into the information space and I admire only individual pieces. Recently, I am very interested in performative techniques and I focus on developing programs and sensors for music creation.

– What music do you listen to now?

– Spotify is my personal playlist, where you can find a lot of my favorite music. I listen to a lot of music from LRT playlists from Opus.

– How much fun to go on stage: with a band or only one?

– Right now, I feel very good on stage, and I did not have it before. But it's like trying to meet what you like: hot food or desserts. No answer Very different feelings and ways to make music. I have not found a mediocre gold yet.

– After the television project "Lithuanian Taluan", in which you received great popularity, you were missed – you became a graduate student, you are now a recognized composer. If you could return your time today, would you have chosen a television project yet? And maybe there are other things you can change if you have the opportunity?

– I would not change anything. For me, the TV project was like a wave of tsunami – I quickly became popular, but it quickly fell. Now, I grow as a tree, and the difference is very felt. I have already mentioned and I will mention many times that, like everyone, I change. Only maybe not everyone – so cardinal. Academic music has always been my favorite area, but perhaps not so obvious. I'm studying again. Only now, it is possible to reconcile science and scenic activity. After the project, she really wanted to learn a lot. That's what I did. When I wanted to cook coffee, that's what I did. Now I want to be on stage, so … (smiles) It's important to know what you want and do not want too much.

– Do you already know the plans for the future, what will be your summer?

– Whatever I do not like to plan, I know what I will do until spring. And this summer, I'm engaged in concert activities, writing new songs and working in various areas of education – I recently returned from a Chicago camp where I taught children Lithuanian. I am now waiting for a team of children from China – I will study at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theater. I will work at the Adult Summer Academy. In August, as always, I will have a week with wonderful children who have already become friends in the camp organized by the Vytautas Kernagis Foundation, whose last concert will be held at the Bard Festival "Purple Evening". I'm going to one of the concerts. And most importantly, I will give my family more time, because in the fall, hopefully, I will go to Reykjavik to study. I am still working on a project, which I will be able to discuss only in October
