Zaumne (Mateusz Olszewski) is a Polish sound artist, researcher of human moods, atmospheres, internet culture and its sound content. His creative practice relies on intuition and moving beyond the rational. His compositions incorporate carefully processed vocal samples and field recordings, often alongside tickling sounds which trigger the ASMR phenomenon.

‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

Personal experiences, materiality, intimacy, paranormal sensations and dreams are some of the topics explored on his albums released in the past few years, in collaboration with labels like sferic, Mondoj, or Warm Winters Ltd. He has worked with institutions such as Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, Tanzhaus Zürich or Floating Univeristy Berlin.
