In this work I use reel-to-reel tape recorders to create sound. I craft evolving collaged soundscapes that boldly reflect the changing environments I grew up in—ranging from personal spaces to shifting socio-political trends. These sonic landscapes are inhabited by characters collaged from the voices of my childhood VHS tapes, voice messages, old TV shows, and my mum’s and family’s songs. This project is a deeply personal collage that, in the end, becomes collective.
Augustė Vickunaitė is a sound experimentalist who employs vintage reel-to-reel tape recorders to play, record, and create sounds, articulating diverse layers of recordings including found material, field recordings, voice, music instruments, objects, and the whole spectrum of malfunctions of decaying technology. Auguste specializes in tape music, noise, and collage music, known for her theatrical and darkly humorous approach, often exploiting errors of analog audio equipment. Her solo work encompasses tape loops and collages of found audio tapes.
Since 2016, Auguste has been active in Europe and beyond, primarily as a solo performer, although she has collaborated with other artists too. She has self released solo CD album “Dance Alone”.
