The Light Entanglement Machine 2021 project and its self-titled album is inspired by the works of Stanisław Lem on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of the famous writer.
The mastermind of the project and composer of the music is Przemysław Piekarz, who between 2007 and 2011 was a keyboard player in Hipgnosis band (using Ijon pseudonim).
The album of the project was recorded between May 2020 and September 2021 with participation of Krakow’s musicians: guitarists Filip Goddard Wyrwa (Hipgnosis, Twelve Moons, Xposure) and Wojciech Bochniak (Rivendell, Callabrijon), bass player Krzysztof Wyrwa (Millenium, Frita, Twelve Moons) and drummer Grzegorz Bauer (Millenium, Another Pink Floyd, Frittata, Twelve Moons). The youngest generation of musicians is represented by violinist Joanna Hebda and bass guitarist Bartłomiej Bochniak (Better Than Worse, Moon Radio District).
The tunes on the concept album refer to the most important topics from Lem‘s books: the evolution of cosmos (The Space Fugue, Nucleosynthesis), a puzzle of consciousness (Awareness), space travels (Missing Android) and the development of the Artificial Intelligence (The First Light, Entanglement, Machine Intelligence).
The Light Entanglement Machine term refers to the vision of a super-intelligent digital machine from the book Golem XIV.
