October residents – Alanas Gurinas ir Sholto Dobie

Alanas Gurinas is an interdisciplinary artist working in the field of sound performance and audiovisual installations. In his sound practice, he explores sound as a textural phenomenon, themes of ephemerality, and the relationships between various audible and inaudible objects and spaces.

Sholto Dobie is an artist and organizer who works with sound in a broad sense. Using loose structures, site-specific methodologies, and various sound sources, such as homemade organs or bagpipes, he is actively involved in the field of sound art. Born in Edinburgh, he currently lives in Vilnius.

Both artists work with acoustic sound sculptures and homemade instruments made from everyday materials. In 2025, in collaboration with the sound art record company “infant tree”, they released their first joint album, “a hiss of light”. https://sholtodobie.bandcamp.com/album/a-hiss-of-light
