LEGENDO
is a work of sonic weird fiction. A pulp fantasy. A descent through the cracks in reality, punctuated by bizarre encounters and freaky transformations. It oozes an odd mixture of wonder and fear, a fascination with whatever might be lurking around the next unlit corner, met with relentless excitement and leading towards ghastly discoveries. Like a vision of a new mythological age, one that aims more at subverting and making fun of itself than educating towards any kind of morality. Or a self-conscious fantasy RPG turning into a full-on immersive experience. The author,
Lubomir Grzelak
AKA
Lutto Lento
, arranged this eccentric narrative as a follow up to his previous LP, the ominous
Dark Secret World
, while also settling out to subvert the atmosphere of that record. In his Haunter debut he embraces his own quirkier side, delving further into eerie derision and surreal trickery. He achieves that by remodeling his penchant for heavy bass and gloomy dub into a kind of otherworldly folk music, drawing in de-territorialized string instruments, cheeky digital sound design,
Coil
-ian horror synths, and drums that remind as much of heavy metal as of Hollywood neo-classicism. It is by pushing the envelope on the most contradictory elements that
LEGENDO
ascends to a form of mocking poetry. Many weird characters are encountered through the narrative: from the various musicians that contributed to the music (such as vocalist
John Glacier
, guitarist
Adam Repucha
and koto player
Katarzyna Karpińska
), but also many fringe fascinations that hail from Grzelak's native Poland: from the 1897 painting "Skarby Sezamu" by
Stanislaw Wyspiański
that inspired the track of the same name, to the delirious paganism of outsider artist
Stanislaw Skukalski
, to the lullaby referenced in "Iskiereczka". These entities all dwell inside
LEGENDO
and conduct its chapters, rendering the liminal dimension of its sound as real as it is in its creator's mind.
