Vykintas Baltakas

Vykintas Baltakas is a Lithuanian composer known for his immersive and often intensely physical sound worlds. He frequently incorporates elements of noise and drone into his works, creating music that can be both meditative and unsettling. Baltakas's compositions often explore the boundaries of traditional instrumentation, sometimes pushing instruments to their limits and other times incorporating unconventional sound sources. He's a significant figure in the contemporary Lithuanian music scene and his work has been performed internationally.

Beyond purely acoustic works, Baltakas also delves into electronic music and multimedia projects, often blurring the lines between genres. His recent releases showcase his diverse range, from the sprawling soundscapes of *Ouroboros* and *Redditio* to the more focused explorations found in *B(Ell Tree)*. He's a composer who consistently challenges listeners' expectations and pushes the boundaries of contemporary classical music.
