The publication titled My squirrel. The sounds of M. K.
Čiurlionis’s worlds is a literary work derived from a virtual reality experience developed by the “Paths of Angels” team, “Creation of the Worlds.” The creators of the book emphasize that its primary aim is to guide readers in exploring the interplay among sound, color, and imagination. The experience functions as both an encounter with the significant Lithuanian artist and a mechanism for readers to discover their own creative potential, encouraging skills such as deep listening, careful observation, and dreaming. The narrative structure follows the story of a solitary boy accompanied by a squirrel.
Throughout the text, readers can listen to excerpts from M. K. Čiurlionis’s symphonic poems, specifically “The Sea” and “In the Forest.” Furthermore, the book concludes with a concise biography providing background on the artist.
The creators stated their intention was to offer more than just a tribute to one of Lithuania’s most important creators. They sought to invite readers to interpret Čiurlionis’s oeuvre through a fresh perspective, acknowledging the profound depth of his artistic worlds. By integrating sensory elements—music, narrative, and visual suggestion—the book translates the immersive nature of the original VR piece into a tangible reading experience, inviting intellectual and emotional engagement with the artist’s legacy.
