Lezet is an experimental one-man music project hailing from Pozega, Serbia and releasing music since 2006. Being an avid music fan in love with many different styles, genres and approaches in music, Igor Jovanovic tries to explore and incorporate many of them into the sound of Lezet. Igor sees music as an artistic practice which should be fun and exciting for those making it, and feels fortunate enough to have many friends and fellow music makers allowing him to grow artistically by collaborating with him.

After more than a decade since the previous “Meld” album was released, Igor decided to revive the series where each song in the album is made with a different collaborator.

The previous volumes were the albums that Igor loved making / being part of more than any of his solo endeavours. The “Meld” series galvanised his venturing in producing music in duos and groups since.

“Thanks to all the artists who collaborating with me on “Meld 8″ and for making the album as brilliant as it is!”

Collaborators featured on “Meld 8”:

RDKPL – “Czech noisound maker. Aural manipulations within the borders of power noise, experimental electronica, downtempo glitch to electroacoustic industrial.” RDKPL.bandcamp.com

Wilfried Hanrath – “I am 66 years old and a happy father and grandfather. I learned classical guitar, and taught myself bass, drums and percussion, and keyboards, synthesizers. And, like I like listening to different styles and genres in music, I play different genres and styles. Solo works are one branch in my activities; more fulfilling – be it in live situations or in the studio, is to come together with others in collaborations.” wilfriedhanrath.bandcamp.com

Kleshas – Christopher B. Arnett’s recent moniker exploring melodic experimental and classical music even further than the music he released under his own name.
