Across more than thirty years – from Exem to SoundCloud, from The Joy of Electronic Music to Dangė Records – Matas Petrikas keeps returning to the same question from different angles.

This talk is about what the machines can’t hear: the body’s relationship with sound, the slow ripening of taste, the unplanned encounters a label or a radio show makes possible.

On why the practice matters more than the result, why we still press vinyl in the age of the algorithm, and why the Lithuanian scene could be one of the places and moments where this can still be done slowly, deliberately, by hand.

Vladas Dieninis invites you to explore how rhythm, technology, and human performance interact in real time, with demonstrations of instruments such as the Roland SPD-SX Pro and Korg Wave Drum.

The session examines their capabilities and limitations, as well as the challenges and advantages of performing electronic music live.

The seminar also looks at how acoustically rooted rhythms can be transformed into electronic sound, offering insight into both the creative process and performance techniques.

Berner will share how atmosphere, rhythm, and spatial awareness interact to influence collective energy, alongside his intuitive, in-the-moment approach to DJing without fixed structures. Moving beyond formulas, the session connects artistic decisions with crowd dynamics, giving insight into how tension, depth, and flow are created – inviting participants to think of techno as a living dialogue between artist, space, and audience.

Through playful, embodied exercises, participants are encouraged to express sensations, emotions, and responses with their bodies rather than through thought alone.

The experience develops from the inside out, starting with self- attunement and gradually expanding into partner dynamics. As the workshop unfolds, participants practice both sides of conscious, authentic communication: expression and listening.

Festivals offer a constant flow of impressions, performances, and encounters. BODYBASED acts as a gathering point within that flow, a place to arrive, recharge, connect with others and deepen the festival experience through movement and sound.

The structure of the class will take form when the participants show up, so that you who join will get the most of it.

What to bring: A yoga mat or towel to lie on, plus an extra layer or a pair of socks, as your body temperature may drop during deep relaxation.

Who can attend: Open to everyone. No prior experience required.

The activity is suitable for all ages, takes around 10–60 minutes, and invites visitors to slow down, create, and connect with the natural surroundings of River Sound.

Participants will learn how unresolved memories and the wounded inner child can influence the present, how emotions become stored in the body, and how regression techniques aim to help process and neutralize these experiences. The seminar also offers an overview of the range of issues regression therapy can address, with a brief introduction to its approach to past life regression if time allows.

The second part of the session takes a practical approach. Guided through a short regression exercise, participants will work with a personal memory to experience the process firsthand, followed by an opportunity to share reflections and ask questions.

Through slow, intentional movements and guided breathwork, participants are invited to explore their bodies in a completely new way. Rather than forcing flexibility or strength, the practice focuses on releasing tension stored within the fascial system, allowing the body to reorganize naturally.

No previous experience is needed, and the workshop is suitable for all levels.

Duration: 75–90 minutes
