Ritualai by Vėjopatis
Rituals - everyday stories that we create ourselves.
Vėjopatis is one of the best Lithuanian artists of native electronic music, known for his own style and root connections to ancient mythology. His 6th album breaths with fresh electronic rhythms and sonances, and steps to new creative paths.
Searching for a new sound and content, the author no longer uses natural motifs, as in previous albums, but an electronic full of synthesizer modulations, popular style of the 80's. Vėjopatis reveals the idea and theme of the works in an original and contemporary way.
The album is dedicated to everyday stories that we create ourselves. It brings paradoxes of pandemic time, when people can communicate and dance being alone for a long time, with illusion of community. The theme is relevant to the society, where each human has his or her own personal rituals, they form a common cohabitation, or cause differences that are encouraged to be understood by the new works of Vējopatis.
The refreshing and dreamy sound of the album smells of rush and optimism. The work of the project Vėjopatis allows listeners to immerse themselves in personal ritualism and search for more answers in today life.
