archive & augenzeugen: Zenial - Foil Punk

Das label schreibt: "The new album by Łukasz Szałankiewicz aka ZENIAL contains a total of eight tracks, ranging from broadly understood experimental electronics, which is the result of his experience gained in numerous musical projects. You can hear here echoes of previous achievements under ZENIAL , but with the influence of music previously known from, among others, Angst’78, NOR_POL or Aabzu. The subsequent issues close with a clasp outlined by the topic, which is also a tribute to cyberpunk culture, with all its character, philosophy and formula, often drawing a dystopian, slightly post-apocalyptic vision of the future, but also engaging in a discourse on issues related to conspiracy theories arising from in a wide stream, as a reflection of the fears that consume communities in the face of the unknown. The musician does not provide answers, but invites us to a discussion about AI and the dangers lurking in the near future, in which scenarios caused by fears and ignorance are to be realized, while presenting the point of view of a person who is more aware of the futuristic model in which humans are only the mode of the great dehumanized wave of the universe. The material was recorded at the French institute Center National De Création Musicale in Reims. "
