Vilnius playlist.

Yesterday I was in a very interesting guest lecture of one advertising company and here's a fun video they made after visiting Vilnius (they work in Kaunas). 

It's Lithuanian of course, but that's not the point - the guy asks random person on the street, what is she/he listening at the moment. And on the video they put the music, the person was listening to. The whole video was called Vilnius playlist (a bit similar with the project Remix Your City, remember?). Fun idea!

What would have been your answer?

My song would have been this, as I often listen to lindy hop music and I have the whole album of best Louis Prima songs on my mp3 at the moment.

Banana split for my baby, a glass of plain water for me!

Inspiration Monday.

This Monday I suggest you to take a look at the city I live in!
Vilnius in 25116 pictures.
Look at 0:38 (local people call this area "by the White bridge" - but you can not see it in the video as the photos were taken from that bridge) and 1:10 (this area is called Užupis, which literally can mean "beyond the river" as it is on the other side of Neris) - these are one of my favorite spots.
Have a  good week!

Good morning, my darlings,

nothing can be better than to wake up in a sunny city, in a sunny home! 

This Monday I want to share a creative video - this guy used iPhone and iPad to record the sounds of Tokyo and remixed the city. 

Crazy idea!

But it's so amazing, the sounds in the temple, the robots,.. I just loved the sound of geisha shoes walking!
I couldn't help, but wonder - what would be the sounds of your city?

For Vilnius, I would say, most of all - trolleybus sounds, the bells of the cathedral tolling, coffee machines making coffee, the traffic lights sounds, the pigeons cooing, the sound of the broom sweeping the streets, the women voice in the bus saying "next stop: [..]"..

It's funny when you start thinking, what sounds do you hear everyday! And it somehow is an inbuilt part of a city picture in your mind.

Have a good beet week!

Vilnius Temperature.

Have you heard about Vilnius Temperature? It is an amazing project for which I waited many many years! 

It's an acoustic music video blog which unites city sounds and represents up and coming artists in Vilnius as a cinematographic background. 

More information you can find on this TED video - the guy explains his idea and at the end there's a lovely song, I recommend you watching it!
Finally finally finally Lithuanian musicians are ready to get the attention of the world!
And what is more, with such a wonderful idea to combine the music, the weather and the city - how cool is that, ha?!
I'm really happy:)

P. S. you can become a fan on facebook to get all the news!
