Ramūnas Jaras

In the early 90s, Ramūnas Jaras was a leader of the early Lithuanian early experimental and avant-garde scene. He is responsible for the ground-breaking Lithuanian art-rock / avant-garde project “Echidna Aukštyn” (later also known as “Endiche.Vis.Sat”), avant-garde / post-folk music festival “Sumirimas” (later known as “Didelis pasaulis!”) and never ending stream of performances, music projects and collaborations. He is provocative, innovative and engaging. R. Jaras’ success formula involves satire and humour, atonal sound experiments and ritualistic instrumental melodies. Currently he performs solo or with a band of guest artists. A typical appearance of R. Jaras in concerts and performance art events is a mask on his face and a checked shirt.
