Naujo and Griciute have been performing together in various bands both in the US and in Lithuania since 2014.<\/span><\/p>\n “Most important is that we don’t know why or what we do.

The texture of Naujokaitis\u2019s music has absorbed a rich universe of sound \u2013 it contains musical elements from different countries and regions, features from various trends and genres, as well as sounds and noises from the surrounding world. This creator and performer, distinguished by his extraordinary expressiveness, finds music everywhere, from the sounds of nature to the hum of cities. And in his hands, very diverse objects \u2013 dishes, handrails, saws \u2013 turn into musical instruments. Naujokaitis values spontaneous music making very highly, participating with great passion in various performances, including many initiated by him. He\u00a0has played and recorded with a variety of New York bands including Kenny Wolleson\u2019s Himalayas and Wollesonics, Art Baron, Butch Morris, Joey Barron, Briggan Krauss, Jeff Ballard, Brazilian Girls, Tim Keiper, Jonathon Haffner, Otomo Yoshihide, Rocco John Group, and On Davis\u2019 Cartoon Satellite among many others. Naujo\u00a0started his musical career in Lithuania and regularly returns for various projects.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Monday February 8, 7:30pm Laima & Naujo TV Video premiere and sound performance by Laima Griciute and Dalius Naujo Image courtesy of\u00a0Laima Griciute and Dalius Naujo Microscope Gallery is extremely pleased to present the premiere of the just completed new video feature “Laima & Najuo TV” followed by a live percussion performance both by the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_mc_calendar":[],"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-17506","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.microscopegallery.com\/archive\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/17506","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.microscopegallery.com\/archive\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.microscopegallery.com\/archive\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.microscopegallery.com\/archive\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.microscopegallery.com\/archive\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=17506"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.microscopegallery.com\/archive\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/17506\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17508,"href":"https:\/\/www.microscopegallery.com\/archive\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/17506\/revisions\/17508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.microscopegallery.com\/archive\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=17506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
