VEST - TO GUIDE
Albums VEST ir konceptuāls turpinājums iepriekš izdotam albumam NEST, kurš apmēram pirms gada guva nominācijas dažādos mūzikas apbalvojumos. Albuma VEST pirmajā pusē klausītāji tiek vesti instrumentālās mūzikas ceļojumā jūrās, otrajā daļā - zemēs.
The album VEST (meaning "to guide" in Latvian) is a conceptual continuation of the previously released album NEST, which received nominations at various music awards about a year ago. In the first half of the album VEST, listeners are taken on an instrumental music journey across the seas, and in the second half – across the lands.
Wild sounds of a tongue drum, Latvian traditional harp ‘kokle’, modular synths and mad live looping alongside exceptional guitar skills - that is how you would describe the music of Reinis Jaunais, a well travelled musician from Riga, Latvia.
When watching his performance it might be hard to believe that there is only one person on the stage. His songs are a treat for guitarists as they are made using distinctive guitar playing techniques - including fingerstyle, tapping, percussive etc.
About Me.
Reinis has been performing all over the world for many years, bringing back an array of beautiful music videos from his trips of which he openly shares with the audience. This gives a wonderful insight into his incredible travel experiences. The musician recently released his 10th music album ‘Nest’ that got nominated for all major album awards in Latvia and is well reviewed by music journalists worldwide.
''He’s a musical magpie, who takes in a myriad of influences from his travels, while using them to craft something that is uniquely his own.''
