Marius Baranauskas, a representative of the younger generation of Lithuanian composers, has gained increased recognition in the past decade, especially after he was awarded 3rd Prize at the Toru Takemitsu Composition Award in Japan for the symphonic composition "Talking". In his music the composer is particularly concerned with timbre as one of the primary elements of his musical language, searching also for ways to extend the limits of imagination by 'translating' words into musical sounds and timbres.
