Tomas Kutavičius, composer and improvising pianist, is one of those rare creators who work quietly, without any posturing or desire to stand out in the public space. His own music and the Muse who inspires it are enough for him - that invisible but strong impulse to which he faithfully devotes himself and which leads him each time along a different, as yet unknown path.
His music is an open field of feelings, full of lively states and moods that change naturally, as if in the rhythm of nature. Listening to Tomas' improvisations, one can hear nature itself: the elements, the gusts of wind, the silence of the morning or the stillness of twilight, the rippling of lake waters or the cries of birds in the distance. It is not an illustration of sounds, but a sense of their reality.
Despite the emotional richness of his music, each improvisation has a clear form and internal structure. They are independent micro-worlds, with their own logic and breath, but at the same time harmoniously merging into one whole. This harmony naturally affects the listener, creating a safe space for experience.
Tomas Kutavičius is also an experienced composer of academic music, who has written impressive opuses for piano, chamber ensemble, choir and orchestra. But it is in improvisation that he finds his greatest freedom. “Music begins when I sit down at the instrument,” he says. And then the journey begins - without a goal, but with a direction; without a plan, but with a feeling.
