Song Gates is the third group Sigma single released before the album Austin opening concerts at the Latvian Academy of Arts this week – on May 25, 26 and 27. As the song is about six minutes long, the artist Katrīna Neiburga had the opportunity to make a contemporary music short film in which one of the main characters is the actor Igors Šelegovskis.
“The lyrics and mood of the song led to feelings of loneliness, which I often find myself in. The feeling that the whole life is as if behind a glass wall. When you are somewhere on the other side and do not come to reality. And then comes the surprise. Communication with something unknown and I think that the viewer will be able to interpret the story of the meeting of these two characters in their own way.
The author of the song ‘s lyrics is the poet Kārlis Vērdiņš, who says that Gates is one of his most tragic poems, written at a time when he became especially aware of the finality and destiny of human life: “Sigma has turned this poem into an impressive piece of music that I can’t listen to without recalling the ancient experiences that have become even more emotional in their music. “
Fonds Art needs space is pleased to have responded to the group Sigmas the call to co-produce a short film, as a result of which a new work of contemporary art has emerged that addresses the theme of post-humanism, also touching on the human relationship with technology and inviting reflection on the future of this relationship.
Group tickets Sigma concerts in the new building of the Latvian Academy of Arts (K2) are available on the portal Aula.lv.
