“Girių Dvasios” is a unique electronic music project started in 2009 by the talented artist Evaldas Azbukauskas. This unconventional musical endeavor is inspired by Lithuania’s nature, forests, and ancient Baltic culture, intertwined with modern Dub-Techno music.
From Mic.lt:
“The music of ‘Girių Dvasios’ steams like marshlands from the depths of electronic forests. Observing the conceptual presentation of the project, one can’t help but wonder—what connects seemingly ‘club-oriented’ music genres (like dub/techno) with Lithuania’s nature? ‘Girių Dvasios’ answers this question through its prolific creativity, asserting that form does not define content. The aforementioned stylistic features immerse listeners into depths with the help of ambient and bass-driven sounds. Each release from ‘Girių Dvasios’ is tied to a spiritual or philosophical experience. The minimalist titles of tracks and albums hint at vast interpretive possibilities, with their starting point rooted in the homeland’s nature, places, and related experiences. In this way, the rhythm created by electronic instruments merges with the heartbeat and unites into a Whole.”
