Sam Gendel, Ethan Braun & Ugné Uma

Saxophonist Sam Gendel from California and singer, lyricist, and journalist Ugnė Uma from Lithuania have known each other for some time. Three years ago, they created the project “Tam Tikri Objektai Erdvėje” (Lithuanian for “Some Special Objects in Space”) for the Maekusma platform. The six titles of the pieces in this project correspond to the letters of the word “Saturn” and create a sonic cosmos that is as fragile as it is urgent. Within this soundscape, one finds echoes of improvisation, sampling of their own recordings, and sound designs from the early Yamaha Portasound PSS-290 synthesizer, abstracting pop and R&B to evoke a contemplative atmosphere. Joining this setting of sounds, imaginary soundscapes, and noises is composer Ethan Braun, who also lives in California. Through his compositional work, he aims to structure and shape the already multifaceted spectrum of this music, bringing it to life like a living organism and transforming it into textures that are both dense and loose.
