Today, KAH is one of the busiest culture institutions in Kaunas, offering a calendar full of concerts, exhibitions, performances, discussions, movie screenings etc.
Zan first performed here in April with his new wave-loving project Bodycocktail. More recently, he spent a few weeks here as a resident artist, preparing Kaunastones, a performative tour of sidewalks, which is an extension of his sound exploration project Zanstones.
The artist was kind enough to sit down with us and answer a few questions about his background, moving to Europe and his Kaunas-related insights. Make sure you say hi when you see Zan in town after he comes back from his summer tour dates and locations below! Well, I am a classically trained violinist.
I discovered John Cage who just gave a green light and told us everything we do is going to be OK. So, my first works were a lot more experimental and sound gathering and collaborations. I started a cassette label back in In , I got my very first piece of equipment - a keyboard.
The name is adorable, it came from a Dutch advert someone sent me. It said, blah blah blah, bodycocktail. Oh, that's my next band name! My music is like a cocktail. After a few tracks, you realize that you're feeling good. One girl said she hated me when she saw my first track. By the third song, she realized she wanted to be me.
