Agnė Matulevičiūtė and Marta Finkelštein “Dear, dear”

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.

Composer Agnė Matulevičiūtė and pianist Marta Finkelštein have been creating a duo since 2021, when they found a commonality by combining piano and analog/modular synthesizers. The duo uses elements of acoustic and electronic music to reveal the diverse possibilities of today’s sound expression. Different developer profiles and professional experiences create original connections. Agnè’s creative interests include 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 and curating contemporary music.

Performers, composers: Agnė Matulevičiūtė, Marta Finkelštein
