Gintė Preisaitė - piano and electronics

Gintė Preisaitė is a Lithuanian artist based in Copenhagen, where she composes and improvises with piano and electronics. Through a variety of timbres, textures, collaged melodies, and percussive figures, she finds the thin spaces of transcendence and transformation between acoustic instrumentation and the electronic processing of contemporary compositions. She moves between ambient, drone, and experimental songwriting, exploring themes of escapism and memory through sound. Collisions pile up as ideas meet between her classical and improvisational background, and playful, sample-based material, focusing on instrumental timbres, extended techniques, and earthy vocals.

As an improvising pianist and composer, she has performed and collaborated with artists such as Toshimaru Nakamura, Sachiko M, and Kenny Wollesen, and has opened for artists like Drew McDowall and Rafael Toral. During her time at RMC, she also composed music for larger ensembles, including the octet Octesonance and the quintet Stochastic Meditation and formed other improvised music ensembles like Treen and Percussomnia.
