Musician Error to Perform Solo Concert "PRIEKS" at Riga's Anglican Church

Latvian electronic music artist Error will perform the solo concert "PRIEKS" on Friday, 18 December at 8 p.m. at the Riga Church of the Saviour (Anglican Church), located at Anglikāņu Street 2. Tickets are sold at the box offices of "Biļešu Paradīze" and online.

Error works in industrial electronic, dark ambient and noise music. His output includes experimental soundscapes as well as darkly lyrical ambient pieces, in which slow spectral flow gives the works a sense of spatial depth. In his music the artist explores deep emotions, balancing between overly dramatic seriousness and irony. His work has been recognised in Latvia and abroad: Error has performed in Israel, the United States, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Serbia and elsewhere.

Stage design and team

The stage design will be created by Artūrs Virtmanis, a visual and multimedia artist, scenographer and curator at the Riga Contemporary Art Space. Since 1995 he has produced large-scale projects in Latvia, the US and elsewhere, including multimedia installations, process-based artworks and performative productions.

Virtmanis combines drawing, sculpture, inflatable structures, mechanical objects and architectural forms, often merging scenography with conceptual, site-specific installation art. He has designed sets for interdisciplinary stage projects, repertory theatres, concerts and film, and has long collaborated with New York-based set designer George Tsypin on large-scale international opera and theatre productions. Virtmanis has been nominated several times for the Purvītis Prize, the Riga City Council Culture Award and the Latvian Public Media Award for culture.

The lighting artist is Ivars Vācers and the sound director is Uģis Jansons. The concert is supported by the State Culture Capital Foundation.
