After nearly four years, Jasmeno returns with a work that not only expands on its existing language but also redefines it in an almost sculptural spirit.

The new album, titled Assemblage Of Cinematic Idioms, draws inspiration from the creative practice of Wladyslaw Hasior – a compelling, unconventional artist who constructed moving, multi–layered collages from fragments of reality.

Just as Hasior juxtaposed objects of disparate origins, creating tension between the sacred and the profane, Slawomir Nietupski (synthesizers, piano, programming) constructs a musical structure from diverse stylistic idioms and artistic personalities.

The result is a sonic matrix that resembles an installation more than a classic album – a space in which each element has its own name, but only when fully assembled does it reveal its full meaning, based on the principles of collaboration and openness.

Previous releases (Jasmeno, Elixir, and Lucid Horizon) confirmed Nietupski’s understanding of music as a process of constant transformation of form.

However, only now, after years of exploration, has the artist decided to take a radical step: creating a work with a distinctly cinematic character, composed entirely around a virtual symphony orchestra.

The album’s title is no coincidence, as the term assemblage refers to the method of building a whole from fragments – in this particular edition, from the personalities of the guest musicians and vocalists.

“Cinematic idioms,” on the other hand, point to the narrative, pictorial nature of the compositions, which unfold like scenes from a nonexistent film–full of tension, contrasts, and emotional climaxes.

In contrast to the commonly used digital graphic standards, the entire visuals for the album were created traditionally – hand-painted using water colors by the founder of Jasmeno.

The album features six extensive tracks, totaling nearly 50 minutes.

From the very first seconds, the listener is drawn into a world of intense melodies and dynamically crafted arrangements, where subtlety meets monumentality.

Based on the lyrics of poet Izabela Turska–Kamrowska, this intricately constructed vivisection depicts a man grappling with everyday doubts and feelings and emotions that permeate separation and misunderstanding.

However, the multi-dimensionality and multi-threaded message take the listener on a journey through a search for faith and finding joy in everyday life.

The sonic landscape is underpinned by the unconventional guitar parts of Michal Grall (Unblessed Divine, ex–Sinister) and the refined bass lines of Artur Olkowicz (Mechanism, Art of Illusion).

Both musicians create an impactable foundation upon which a rich orchestral fabric unfolds.

The composition’s surprising twists and turns are shaped by the daring, towering vocals of Brian Gawaski.

The numerous invited guests also contribute to the album’s diversity and blend of personalities.

Each guest brings their own idiom – a distinct, yet unique language of emotion and sophisticated experiences.

The album was mixed and mastered by Jakub Mankowski, renowned for his collaborations on recordings with artists such as Behemoth, Jordan Rudess, Czeslaw Mozzil, Justyna Steczkowska, Me and That Man, and Blindead, among others.

This ensures a distinct selectivity, intensity, and unique depth of sound.

The album will be released on September 11 in various formats: CD Jewel Case including a 16-page booklet, an Artbook CD containing extended artwork to 28 pages, 12″ Vinyl Gatefold – Transparent Splatter with an 8-page insert, MC Cassette Tape, and Digital Streams.

Out of memory for Wladyslaw Hasior.
