It faintly reflects the light of stars. The sun, with its brightness, warms the ZeMe [Earth]. A place where not only the rhythms of the city and the songs of birds exist, but also many beginnings and departures.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monsta tells about the origin of the piece: \u201c\u201cVisuma vizo\u0161\u0101 tumsa\u201d was created during improvisations, when we were jamming with Laima in the studio. As time passed we stuck to one idea that we both liked until it resounded in the form of a musical piece representing the Universe.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-soundcloud wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe width=\"680\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F612561420&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxwidth=680&#038;maxheight=1000&#038;dnt=1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the duet\u2019s\ndebut album, which brings their newest compositions together with pieces that\nhave already been performed live. Various electric and acoustic kokles (a\ntraditional Latvian stringed instrument) were used in the recording, as well as\nelectronic sounds carefully created from the sounds of assorted household\nitems. All of this was complemented with double bass solos from our old friend\nToms Poi\u0161s.\n\nZeMe\u2019s creative work is based on the study of\ntraditional cultural heritage, however the transformations it underwent during\nthe creative process allow it to be defined as original music. The second\npiece, \u201cBumbul\u0113t\u201d, uses vocals by traditional caller Karl\u012bne Puravi\u0146a (recorded\nin 1968) from the Archives of Latvian Folklore. \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On September 20 in the venue \u201cM\u016bzikas nam\u0101 Daile\u201d the concert programme \u201cVisuma vizo\u0161\u0101 tumsa\u201d will be performed . This programme is like a link between two worlds &#8211; the contemporary and the traditional, piece and wildness, the fragile and the unshakable, the serious and playfulness. This is provided by electronic and acoustic kokles, as well as electronic sounds created by different household items,  supplemented by the friend and contrabase player Toms Poi\u0161s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition there will be dancers who will express the rhythms and heartbeat of nature, as well as a scenography that will release the glimmering darkness of the Universe and the play between darkness and light.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tickets available at \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bilesuparadize.lv\/lv\/events\/event\/73355?fbclid=IwAR2TvNucdhDAJH6QYjrn9JazgomQ_LfGuWGcVShgOhq0-eYRUVI-TW7XIdc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Bi\u013ce\u0161u parad\u012bze (opens in a new tab)\">Bi\u013ce\u0161u parad\u012bze<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ZeMe is an originative musical duo deeply inspired by the mythology of the Earth. : the kokle virtuoso Laima Jansone and electronic musician, scratch DJ, turntablist and producer Monsta (Uldis C\u012brulis).
