The works of Liene Sējāne & Kristaps Grasis always have themes.

One of the previous themes in their music was dances. The central theme of the new album is images. Images that have inspired the composers, images that form in the listeners mind during a performance, images that allow the listener to identify with new, never before heard sounds.

Every peace of work in this album represents an image or a picture, that gives you a starting point, for a voyage through your imagination, to remember this music in pictures and images.

On September 24, 2005, Liene and Kristaps gave a concert at the Embassy of Latvia in Stockholm, Sweden. The two musicians surprised the audience with their modern chamber music, which impressed with excellent musical rapport, virtuosity and finesse.

The programme included Liene’s work BILDES [PICTURES], which was performed for the first time, and Kristaps ‘ CEOJUMU SVTA [TRAVEL SUITE], which was performed in full length.

This week, the two musicians are performing in Germany together with cellist Ieva Purina. In the late fall, they will return to Sweden to perform together with poet Juris Kronbergs.
