Lech Emfazy Stefański

* Edition of 50* “I can say about myself that I was programmed in my childhood, and then in my early youth. Like some artificial intelligence from a science-fiction novel.

Through the programming process, Lech Emfazy Stefański described a breakthrough moment in his youth. This led him to his most significant achievements, establishing in 1955 the famous Theater on Tarczyńska Street in Warsaw. It also contributed to the involvement in psychotronics - camouflage for occult and psychic activities, which was accepted by the authorities of late socialist Poland. This programming also became the ground from which grew the 16 cerebral hemispheric synchronization cassettes and his super-teaching practice.

Mumbled hums, detuned guitars and harmonicas waft like ill breezes. Hissing tones breathe out of sickly synths forming beds for the compositions to convalesce on, to sweat and fever dream upon. And there’s the constant presence of the not-so-great outdoors, darkly waiting at the periphery. If one were not careful one could find oneself sinking here, being sucked under, lungs filled with mud, mud that over eons congeals to rock. Trapped with your anxiety, your invasive repetitive thoughts, trapped with yourself. Until an archaeologists hammer, strikes an elbow, shocking you back to life, to stalk the edge of an insect infested summer once again.“ Nathan Gray
