My first Berlin Jazz Fest and I am late for the very first concert. I end up watching the live stream of The Hemphill Stringtet concert from Berlin Festspiele foyer bar. I sit down, I catch my breath and start recording. I hear the music coming from the small speakers and apparently, I am not the only one late – more and more people are gathering around the bar, getting their drinks and chatting silently. I am suddenly inside the festival.

 

And my journey starts, four days of sounds and discoveries, meetings and explorations. Listening back to the recordings after some time, I hear characters emerging like in a theater space. Each of them with their own stories, melodies, experiences. Exploring the places of inside and outside spaces. Through my own rememberings, I hear a celebration of cultures, coming together, and with each new encounter, a new unexpected place  … relation … improvisation.

 

Vilte Gustyte, originating from Vilnius, Lithuania, is a student of Sound Studies and Sonic Arts at Universität der Künste (UdK) Berlin.
