Rokas Jurkus. The Blue Sand Pyramids. CD
The Blue Sand Pyramids is my debut album of poetic, contemporary guitar music.
From the islands of Japan to the American continent, the compositions stretch across the space - like pyramids lifting a person up to the sky. Next time they would reassure us with the stability of their base, only today they are made of sand, carried by the wind, and are permanently unstable.
The time spanning from the life of Čiurlionis to the year two thousand and twenty encodes the testimony of a winter dream. When the stone is broken up, it is only dust of sand. Tintinnabuli !
