Auguste Vickunaite is a Berlin based Lithuanian sound artist with a background in physics science, using 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, the randomness of nature, the aesthetics of boredom and slow art. Her solo work includes tape loops and collages of found audio tapes.
In collaboration with sound artist Hugo Esquinca, she developed the performance series and sound installation Works for Electromagnetic Tape and Digital Signal Processing. Other projects include works for contemporary dance and performance. She often performs live and developed radio pieces for Colaboradio, Seanaps festival, radijo-musikii, Rasų Radijas and others.
She has a Bachelor’s degree in Physics (Vilnius University) and an M.A. in Sound Studies and Sonic Arts (Berlin University of the Arts).

“During these 5 days, I invite you to come by to the Liebig12 project space and join me in creating a constantly changing reel-to-reel sound work. You are welcome to come and just listen or join me by recording your own reel-to-reel tape loops with my help.
