The music project of Polish sound explorer Lukasz Szaankiewicz is Zenial, merging minimal ambient and micro-sounds with field recordings and a sense of skewed motion, creating long-form virtual journeys through strange environments, or in rich textures of a dark night accompanied by slowly moving tones, his years of experience heard through exceptional sonic qualities. |

This is how Lukasz Szalankiewicz aka Zenial describes the notion behind the track "Lancelot Delusion," which inspired the title and theme of his new album. The Doppler effect used in the composition contributes to the psychedelic, surreal ambience. In this track, dreams and journeys are intertwined and pervade the entire release. The title is a metaphor for a mythical, medieval knight who becomes bewildered and lost over his many quests. These patterns are wrapped in unique, minimalistic soundscapes that use field recordings. Lukasz tries to take on new challenges after years of experimenting with various forms of electronic sounds and unconventional music. He's become more fascinated with minimal ambient and micro-sounds in the last two years. Why? Because, according to Lukasz, doing something worthwhile in that area is difficult. It's the next hermetic genre, according to Zenial. The oneiric nature is also present in the first track, "How Can I Be There," which deals with forgetting, drifting away, observing, waiting, and dreaming... Orion+ follows the notion of a journey but is loaded with awe and dread, as it was written during the early stages of the epidemic. Lukasz has something to say about it:
The track was originally self-released as digital-only but has now been specially edited and remastered for "Lancelot's Delusions" as well as the closing piece "Urban Legends". A Muse en Circuit Ð National Center of Musical Creation (Alfortville, France) in cooperation with Art Zoyd Studios commissioned the latter, and it has been fortunately allowed to be featured on this CD as well "-Sublime Retreat Includes an 8 page color booklet of photographic art work. ![]() Electro-Acoustic Organized Sound and Sample Based Music Field Recordings Sound, Noise, &c.
