Electronic performance @ATRAKTORS festival 1 October and @Skaņu Mežs festival 2 October 

Composer Linda Leimane in a close and continuous collaboration with the classical experimental contemporary singer, performer and extended vocal techniques' explorer and researcher Helena Sorokina (alto) is going to explore the voice down to its bits thus obtaining a vast field of resources for further mutational processes in a new and hybrid audiovisual work, where four different media – acoustic voice, electronics, science (Marija Sorokina) and video art (Viktors Keino) closely converge. Pure voice with a powerful breath, that can be seen as a pure luxury in these times, when so many people are fighting for their lives and struggling with breathing, will be subject to extension from the acoustic into the digital realm [For more information go to Catalogue/Electroacoustic/InterVoicing SpACE].

"Ray-bows" is a multi-level reference to Gerard Grisey's "Vortex Temporum" and "Periodes"in the form of a rainbow arch. The hot-subjective impulses in the outer two thirds of the arch are organized by seven muses: Gabriel, Daniel, Josephine, Sergey, Leonora, Ricardo and Emanuel, while the cold-objective peak of the time arch is marked by the red of the rainbow-colored spectrum. Inspired by Gerard Grisey's creative work, the piece aims for organic linkages between time proportions and sound spaces organised by seven quasi spectra as seven rainbow colors.

"Bodies. Undulations" for flute, clarinet, harp, piano, percussion, violoncello, double bass. The premiere by the ensemble Court-circuit, Paris. "Bodies. Undulations" is a large constellation, filled with sense of motion and undulation of abstract bodies interpreting August Rodin's "The Gates of Hell" in nowadays context. The system of body gestures are modelled with intention to achieve maximum of "alive plasticity" possible in the sonic world, deriving forms from the harmonic and inharmonic substance. The ensemble co-creates diverse types of energy, engaging in complex processes, unique timbral sounding, various developments of multifaceted rhythmic patterns and  "bodies" specifically designed to them.

The premiere of "Geometric Counterpoint" for harpsichord and electronics by Ieva Saliete at Arēna festival.

The performance of "Geometry of Endless Solution" at the Concert Hall "Great Amber" in Liepāja. Several different types of electronics are used in the project "Geometry of Endless Solution" which all combine into a never-ending geometric pattern of discovery in which massive blocks, vibrating lines, dots, periodically rhythmic segments and other audio-visually tangible forms dissolve into a primordial substance. The instruments used are a self-oscillating electro-acoustic string instrument specifically created for this performance by Artūrs Punte and Jēkabs Voļatovskis after their own sound installation "No pulsācijas" ("From The Pulsation"), an acoustic, electric cello and bass guitar by Ēriks Kiršfelds and various real-time projections by Viktors Keino. 

The premiere of "Desire" by "Escape Velocity" duo for the project that looks at Milhaud’s “La Création du monde” through the lens of six new commissioned works by a group of six composers. The performance will be surrounded by art, sets, and costumes from the original 1923 ballet production of “La Création” at the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Pete.
