resort for music and other art forms We could keep waiting for someone else to bring us the music we love, or - start doing it ourselves.
That’s how 12 years ago we, a bunch of friends at that time, got into organising events of alternative music in Vilnius. By alternative, we mean music of any genre and style that is created outside mainstream industry. Independent creation, the core of music we foster, also has always been a fundamental principle of the way we work. When organising concerts or our annual summer festival, we oppose
following predefined standards and, instead, support DIY production based on intuition, experimentation and enjoyment of creative process. In all these years of activity, we grew from a few friends to a whole community. Vilnius DIY music cultural space - our dream we’ve been gradually striving for is suspended and looking for premisses now.

Years ago we got into organisation of alternative music events in Vilnius and outside of it. International festivals STRCAMP and BRAILLE SATELLITE are only a few of the gatherings we are proud to be behind.
When organising events, we’ve opposed following predefined standards and, instead, supported DIY production, based on intuition, experimentation and enjoyment of creative process. Independent creation is the ultimate value we’ve always been fostering.
In all these years of activity, we grew from a few friends to a whole community, and its time for us now to take a significant step forward. Opening of an international DIY music cultural centre, our own permanent place we never had before, is our next goal.
Musicians from all around the globe will be welcome to reside, experiment, collaborate, perform, record and release. The space will also invite other artists and everyone from the public, as long as their participation fosters independent creation, DIY philosophy or self-sustaining living.
