Arturas Bumšteinas is a well regarded musician and visual artist from Vilnius, Lithuania. He is involved in many projects in the fields of contemporary and experimental music. His compositions have been published by many labels as physical and online releases. Bumšteinas also has a prolific career as visual artist, working on techniques ranging from video to drawings, sound installations or photography.
Eterniday News (Vol. 1) is a compilation of four compositions centred on many aspects of soundscape composition, sampling and recombination. Composer has prepared quite a long oeuvre that portraits different moments during his touring around Europe. In general the whole release is a tour around different aspects of Bumšteinas interest in contemporary composition. A tour that generates an imaginary landscape of acoustic moments that has an inherent feel of sound logbook or the kind of recording you get back home after traveling.

Reviews:
"Arturas Bumšteinas es un reconocido artista visual y compositor lituano que aquí nos presenta cuatro piezas creadas con varios métodos de composición a partir de las experiencias vividas por el artista durante una gira por europa, las grabaciones de campo se encuentran siempre presentes, pero tratadas de una forma suave, casi ocultas tras un velo, y acompañadas también por colchones y pads con un estilo suave que se van desarrollando lentamente."
