John Lake is an electronic project drew up by Łukasz Dziedzic – a musician, visual artist and curator of the Szara art gallery. Along with Wojciech Kucharczyk, he has formed a duo – IRON NOIR. He releases his albums on Mik Music and BDTA music labels. He performed at Supermarket Art Fair in Stockholm, Ars Cameralis and Tauron Nowa Muzyka festivals in Katowice, Strefa Monotype in Warsaw, Cracow Unsound Festival, Sonic Phenomena in Lublin and Art Meetings festival in Kiev. Performances at Wschodnia Gallery, MWW Contemporary Museum Wroclaw, Miejsce Projektów Zachęty (Warsaw). Tunes played by John Lake are full of marshy and stifling synth mash, furrowed by trance droning rhythm, creating an atmosphere of menace, darkness and secrecy. He is interested in sonic and trance inducing properties of sound and rhythm, frequently in relation to popular culture, religion or paranormal phenomena, which people use in an attempt to understand the world around them.
