| Introduction | About my music project: THE PICTURESQUE EPISODES is a one man’s, Darius’ Gerulis, cosmic-rock / ambient / neo-classical / cosmotronica project from Lithuania. Ranging from lullaby-like string ambiance to noisy repetitive breakdowns and accidental noise records; from distortion driven post-rock to glitch minimal; from obscure noise to polished pop songs - THE PICTURESQUE EPISODES covers much musical ground and include many diverse music genres with exceptional attention to the narrative structure of music. The project released over 12 albums through years 2009-2012, with more various albums coming in the future. The artist himself defines his music as “cosmic” and defines himself as an instrument of translating the universe, events, feelings and stories into forms of music. It should be noted that within different releases the artist is attempting to create a universe with it’s own set of rules, mostly dealing with recurring themes and song-titles in those releases. Most of the releases’ artwork is done by a Lithuanian photographer, Lina Bielinytė. |
