Official release of Justina Repečkaitė’s first album Tapestries: 18 May, 2026 by the Music Information Centre Lithuania. Order on Bandcamp or on MusicLithuania store.
The album brings together works composed between 2012 and 2024, reflecting key stages in the composer’s artistic development. It features recordings made in the Baltic States, France, and Germany, and was released in both physical and digital formats. The booklet visuals, exploring the composer’s sources of inspiration, were created by the renowned Lithuanian artist and designer Liudas Parulskis, known for his photo-manipulations. The accompanying text was written by the composer.
“ The album’s title, Tapestries, is ideal; the fabric of these pieces is substantial, sumptuous, weighty, laden with abstruse designs and patterns, and above all, shockingly beautiful.”
