Recorded by Dj Lenar in his home studio in Poland.
"Nobody knows how many miniatures have been conceived by Rudnik. But one thing for sure: a lot. Plenty enough to make a direct release impossible. The number of them calls for action - something needs to be done with them in the first place; a selection at least, some ordering perhaps. They remind a bit of music material, which form is eventually decided not by its composer but by a published or other user. Their virtual destiny was radio theatre. But in a first step of our attempt at Rudnik's "Miniatures" we pass it not to a dramatist but to a musician. Together with other pieces from the Studio as "Miniatures" are not only a material to work on but also an exposition of a specific approach to music concrete making: work quickly, in-between other things you do, don't spend too much time on it. In other words: hit and run."-Bolt
"DJ Lenar in his portable recording studio as often improvises and composes, and produces soundtracks for movies. At his studio consists of two amplifiers (guitar and bass guitar), turntable, mixer, sampler and loopstacja. Even if it brings to mind the basic instruments to create music specific many decades ago, today the equipment is not used for the inversion, upside down all our habits of listening to music, but to "play". It's in the muscle and the gestures of users exactly the same way as "Goldberg Variations" were in his hands and posture of Glenn Gould at the piano."-Bolt
Bôłt's goal is to promote the achievements of the most eminent composers of contemporary classical, experimental and improvised music working in Eastern Europe Bôłt emphasizing originality, skills and imagination which avoid the shallows of pseudo-avantgarde trash.

Artist Biographies
• Show Bio for DJ Lenar DJ Lenar, real name Marcin Lenarczyk, is a composer of electroacoustic and musique concrète. From his website: "My compositions are a musical collage created with the help of looped fragments of traditional, contemporary and concrete music. I do not have favorite styles. I take subjectively and look for sound in all genres of music and fieldrecording. When playing I use turntables, loops and vinyl records. As a sound director, I deal with the entire film production process. From working on the sounddesign at the script level, to recording on the set and post-production finalized with cinema mixing. I am the author of the sound installation being a part of the "Hotel Polonia.BudynkówŻycie po życiu" project which won the main Golden Lion award at the 11th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice. My concert in the framework of Ars Acustica (an annual merger of radio stations from all over Europe dedicated to the art of sound) was broadcast by Polskie Radio Pr.2 and retransmitted by the most important European radio stations. In 2013, at Koszaliński Festiwal Debiutów Filmowych "Młodzi i Film" together with the band, I received an award for sound for "creating a professional atmosphere for a big city" for the film Stacja Warszawa." ^ Hide Bio for DJ Lenar
