These are mini episodes where I read articles that I publish on PianoBuffs Substack. I share essays, reflections, and research-informed insights on the pianist’s mind. In this episode, I revisit and draw insights from a contemporary art performance we created together with artists Anna Szalucka, Mark Liberman, and Marija Baranauskaite Liberman at the MO museum. We created a show called Summertime, depicting the interwar period of my hometown, Kaunas. Here, you can see a full documentary (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpWevCO6wnA&t=77s).

What hunter-gatherers and children teach us about motivation
These are mini episodes where I read articles that I publish monthly on PianoBuffs Substack (https://pianobuffs.substack.com/). I share essays, reflections, and research-informed insights on the pianist’s mind. I’ve discovered professor’s P. Gray writings on the importance of play for all humans no matter small or big ones and a text about motivation was born. If you want to dive deep into this, check Play Makes Us Human (https://substack.com/@petergray).
Throughout my musical career, I've been deeply interested in the science behind piano playing and musical performance itself.
