JASMENO was founded in 2017 by Sławomir Nietupski, responsible for keyboards, synthesizers and programming. The project has released three records to date: “Jasmeno” (2020), “Elixir” (2021) and the “Lucid Horizon” EP (2022), blending progressive rock with melodic electronica.
After nearly four years, JASMENO returns with “Assemblage of Cinematic Idioms”, marking a new, distinctly cinematic direction built around the sound of a virtual symphony orchestra. Inspired by the art of Władysław Hasior, the album features six compositions spanning nearly 50 minutes, with lyrics by poet Izabela Turska-Kamrowska exploring doubt, alienation, faith and the search for joy.
The album features guitarist Michał Grall (Unblessed Divine, ex-Sinister), bassist Artur Ołkowicz (Mechanism, Art of Illusion) and vocalist Brian Gawaski, alongside numerous guests associated with PATRIARKH, MORGOTH, THORNS, DHG/Dødheimsgard, ARMAGEDON, YATTERING and MILLENIUM.
The album was mixed and mastered by Jakub Mańkowski, whose credits include collaborations with Czesław Mozil, Justyna Steczkowska, ME AND THAT MAN and BLINDEAD. Project founder Sławomir Nietupski was responsible for the graphic design, album layout and hand-painted watercolour illustrations.
