Life With Strings Attached
Amber, Meteorite, and the Mind of Rapolas Gražys
Welcome to Life With Strings Attached. In this episode, we sit down with visionary guitar designer Rapolas Gražys. A creative force whose instruments are as much about storytelling and emotion as they are about sound.
From his studio in Lithuania, Rapolas shares how a childhood steeped in art, architecture, and nature led him to craft guitars from materials as extraordinary as amber, aluminum, and bismuth crystals. We explore the parallels between cooking and creativity, the tension between function and expression, and how narrative, sustainability, and beauty are embedded in every instrument he makes.
Rapolas reminds us that music is a language, and every guitar can speak volumes. Thanks for tuning in and enjoy.
