The full programme philosophy, the format, and the rooms it was built for.
The programme centres on Justinas’s original songs in Lithuanian and English, complemented by selected interpretations of Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, Peter Gabriel and Sting. A song can be performed at the volume of conversation, with room for the words and the silence between them.
Format. Duo: voice and acoustic guitar, with brushed percussion. The drum kit is not "drums" — it is a texture instrument, brushes and rim, never sticks. Optional accordion on request, for certain interpretations where it earns its presence.
Length. A seated acoustic concert of 75–90 minutes. The core format is duo; solo and expanded formats can be discussed with the presenter.
Audience. The audience is the third instrument. The programme is intended for cultural concerts where the room is arranged for listening: concert halls, cultural centres, galleries, museums and literary evenings.
Rooms it was built for. Small halls at cultural institutes and foundations, listening rooms and jazz clubs, gallery spaces at the hour when the chatter has thinned, the rooms in Vilnius cultural houses where someone can read a poem in the same evening.
At the centre. Original music, storytelling and a shared space for listening. The repertoire and spoken introductions can be discussed with each presenter.
