An album that spawned "Martha Too"and is basically its sister album.
There's something truly magical about a broken instrument ( a guitar with a broken neck and strings still attached to it) - it not relinquishing control over to you, and you letting it fish for music.

Lezet - "Fabrika" is out on MURMURE INTEMPOREL (France)!!!!



I felt a strong urge to once again react musically to the incessant noise produced by the factory across my street - I have already done it on the "Misadventures" album.But instead of organising actual factory sounds into tracks, this time I chose to react to them by improvising on piano, organ, synths and wooden flute as they unfold.

Recorded in September & October 2023, Pozega, Serbia.

Lezet -"Tar 2" is out on HAMFUGGI RECORDS (Spain)!!!!!



One more venture of a non-guitarist into exploring the sounds of an acoustic guitar. This time an acoustic guitar with a partially broken (glued) neck proved to be a wonderful inspiration.

En argentina decimos: "tocar la guitarra" cuya traducción en inglés sería "play the guitar". Pero la traducción literal de "tocar" es "touch". Y Lezet hace eso: toca la guitarra, genera sonidos donde no debiera haberlos, mezcla técnicas imposibles de tocar un instrumento... Y damos gracias a ello! Seguir hablando sería (si ya no lo hice) como contar el final de una película... Disfruten (o no) de este disco de Lezet llamado Tar 2.

In Argentina we say: "tocar la guitarra" whose translation in English would be "play the guitar". But the literal translation of "tocar" is "touch". And Lezet does that: he touch the guitar, generates sounds where there shouldn't be any, mixes techniques that are impossible to play an instrument... And we are grateful for that! Continuing to talk would be (if I didn't already) like telling the end of a movie... Enjoy (or not) this Lezet album called Tar 2.

Lezet - "Responding" is out on THE CHURCH OF NOISY GOAT (Brazil)!!!!!



On this album Lezet responds to sounds around him by hitting, pressing or pulling objects.
broken acoustic guitar, plastic bed straps, toys,aluminum lid on a juice cup, steel frames: Igor Jovanovic,
cover art drawing: Marta Jovanovic (4)

https://thechurchofnoisygoat.bandcamp.com/album/responding


Bode:"Listen to the new album by sound artist Lezet. He, who has supported us for some time in promoting his music, has brought us faithful and very eclectic followers thanks to the chameleonic sound he makes, that is, any musical style that comes to mind, and his mind is restless and very creative. On the Responding album, Lezet deals with various percussive sound objects such as broken acoustic guitar, plastic bed straps, toys, aluminum lid on a juice cup and steel frames, freely improvising with them and creating very heterogeneous soundscapes which I am already listening to in mode repeat here endlessly. Give prestige to this artist with a handful of talents, in case you haven't already done so, because any album by him is always a very gratifying surprise for all of us. This, which can be considered Lezet's first release in the field of free improvisation and instant composition with objects here for the Church, is ready to be yours."

Lezet - "Tapping" is out on BROMTOL LARGESSE (USA) !!!!!



As a young metalhead I greatly enjoyed hearing every single guitar tapping fragment played in extreme metal. I would often take a nylon string guitar that belonged to one of my younger sisters when no one was around and try to come up with intricate tapping parts for my imaginary band Lezet. Decades afterwards I found the said guitar in the attic and renewed my love for the technique.

George Christian & Lezet -"M​ú​sica Renegada" is out on GC Sound Artifacts (Brazil)!!!!!



"This album with experimental musician Igor Jovanovic, the mythically prolific Lezet, was a way I found to express and transcend a common pain. I'd rather not wanting to comment on the political breakdown that my country has been suffering, much less on how much the country of Lezet has suffered. "Renegade Music" ("Música Renegada" in English) deals with more individual pains. Perhaps, even, about the situation of being outcasts in the world of musical commercialism and too human to resort to easy gimmicks. The title is a parody of György Ligeti's "Musica Ricercata", and the music is the result of a sound collaboration that is both plural - since each of us makes use of our multi-instrumentalism - and singular - by opting for a more chamber music and economical approach. It is a music that does not intend to be purely and exclusively closed, proposing structural and interpretation openings. In the end, all this is just the result of our spontaneity and joy in finally establishing a common sound project." (George)
