Flashback from Live Space Vilnius in April 2025. As usual, it was an amazing time. Gained knowledge, created and listened new music, got motivated and inspired! Thanks to all usual suspects and LMTA Music Innovation Study Centre team, especially to Mantautas Krukauskas, Robero Becerra and Matas Samulionis. 👾
