Lesiman, whose real name is Paolo Renosto, was an Italian composer and musician whose work remains an intriguing chapter in the realm of library music and experimental sounds. Emerging in the vibrant and exploratory musical landscape of the 1960s and 70s, Renosto, under the pseudonym Lesiman, created and released a number of albums characterized by an eclectic mix of funk, jazz, psych, and avant-garde elements. The "High Tension" series, which features Volumes 1 through 4, is a testament to his innovative approach to composition, incorporating edgy grooves, atmospheric textures, and suspenseful motifs that were intended to be used as stock music for film, television, and radio.
The "Here and Now" albums further expand on Lesiman's ability to craft moody and engrossing soundscapes that blend electronic and acoustic instrumentation. His work, including the original and remastered versions of "High Tension Vol. 1", has seen a resurgence in interest among collectors and sample-based musicians, praising the forward-thinking nature of his recordings. Though Renosto passed away in 1988, his legacy as Lesiman continues to permeate modern experimental music circles, influencing new generations of artists seeking to push the boundaries of genre and sound design.
