RECOMMENDED for lovers of exclusive music and love letters format   

The name of the app is a reference to the love letter format. Here, the creators pay tribute to their most important musical inspirations – John Cage, Meredith Monk, Nils Frahm, Hania Rani, Maurice Ravel, Angelo Badalamenti, Suzanne Ciani, Ryuichi Sakomoto, Chilly Gonzales, Nicol Jaar. The program becomes a map of their experiences and inspirations, where well-known, beloved works that shape their musical identity sound new. At the same time, it is also a love letter to each other – an accomplice in the creative act.

At the festival "Plartforma" the creators will perform in the Concert Hall of the Klaipėda Faculty of the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre and will interpret the contexts of the overlapping historical layers through sound. 

The joint duet of composer Agnė Matulevičiūtė and pianist Marta Finkelštein has been operating since 2021, when they found common ground by combining the harmonies of the piano and analog/modular synthesizers. Agnė‘s creative interests include performance, theater, cinema and interdisciplinary projects, and at the same time she is an active performer under the pseudonym Agnès M. Meanwhile, Marta has accumulated many years of experience in performing contemporary music and composing music. The different profiles and experiences of both creators, united by a commonality of musical ideas, meaningfully complement each other. The duo, which has no analogues in its composition in Lithuania, reveals the diverse possibilities of today's expression, combining elements of acoustic and electronic music, and focusing on the expression of keyboard instruments. https://www.instagram.com/agne._/   https://martafinkelstein.lt/
