Release of Robert Fleitz's album, "The Silent Voice," on the SKANi Label. This project features works by Linda Leimane, Marianna Liik, Jānis Petraškevičs, Helena Tulve, Raimonda Žiūkaitė, Riho Esko Maimets and Rytis Mažulis.

Combining the principles of modern political and documentary theater, "Nasing spesal" is composed by director Andrejs Jarovojs in collaboration with composer Linda Leimane, producer Maija Pavlova and artist Ieva Kauliņa at the Gertrude Street Theater. The performance is based on the longest Saeima meeting in the history of renewed Latvia. Politicians' decisions taken more than a decade ago continue to influence today's reality -- we still live in Latvia's increased tax and drawn municipality borders, while the then opposition members are currently in power. How has the change of political forces changed the overall landscape?  @DEVONS, Sigulda

"Cirque Musique" is a mobile full-scale interdisciplinary music production for young audiences (aged 12 to 18) with the elements of circus and choreography. The Project's goal is to create a meaningful connection between professional artists and teenagers from regions to promote learning new performing arts skills and broaden their experience of arts as active participants or audience members.

The procedures used in quantum laboratories and the similarities of the terms they use to sound art have sparked my imagination to create a spatial sound experience --  a peculiar and idealised state of coherence -- a kind of fragile and protected territory "Dressed in Silicon".

"Geometric Counterpoint" @ Nordic Baltic Spatial Sound Works at Lyssningsrum, Royal Institute of Art Stockholm, Sweden. "Geometric Counterpoint" for harpsichord and electronics is a counterpoint of impressions found in geometric figures as well as the technical arsenal offered by the Baroque fugue processing techniques. In its ambisonic embodiment, the mix provides the listener with a peculiar court experience where the loudspeakers serve as entourage in a blended world of the 17th and 21st century, arising in the feeling of being inside the mechanics of a harpsichord.

"Tinguely Entangled" is an Interdisciplinary Music & Science Project «NCCR Spin/Outreach» meets «Basel Infinity Festival».

"Architectonics of A Crystal Soul", commissioned by the violinist Sofija Kirsanova (LV) and the Syzygy ensemble (Australia) in duration of 15 minutes as a large scale constellation focuses on the solo violin creating synergy with the ensemble of flutes, clarinets, cello and piano.  The  idea of the "Architectonics of Crystal Soul" is  a sonic environment of imaginary city, where artefacts of different ages and cultures meet. The soundscape is experienced and perceived by a "crystal soul" or the solo violin -- alive, feeling, pulsating, breathing, fragile and strong, present in different ages and parts of the planet. 

The exhibition "Episodes 2" by Li Bond with the sound of Linda Leimane and Artūrs Punte is running as part of the  international art project We Can Be Heroes, presented at the Exhibition Hall of Klaipėda Culture Communication Centre. The exhibition is open until 8 November 2020.

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.
