The band \u201cRihards Libietis Orchestra\u201d has published a new musical composition and music video from the upcoming album \u201cWillful Blindness\u201d, due to be released in late spring 2021. Author of the composition is Rihards L\u012bbietis, and the idea for the music came last spring, during the first self-isolation period. \u201cDriftwood Island\u201d tells about movement and passage of time, but not in their obvious sense – more like driftwood on the shores, having experienced an unimaginable journey before ending up there.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn this work I feel a very strong feeling of roots and introspection. Everything around us is in constant and unpredictable motion and it is unbelievably important to not lose your footing and self-reliance in all the unforeseen changes. Although it was not initially planned when working on this composition, the worrying events in the world can also be felt in there,\u201d says Rihards L\u012bbietis.<\/p>\n
\u201cDriftwood Island\u201d was filmed at the seaside on a winter day and captures the powerful and moving emotions of the music. The video was filmed and directed by Laima Jaun\u0101.<\/p>\n
