NV44 by M L PH B

είκοσι χρόνια τώρα, ανάμεσα σε διάφορα ονόματα χαμένα σε κασέτες, μίνι ντίσκ, σιντί, δίσκους, λέιθ, ψηφιακές μορφές, γραπτές κι οπτικές παρουσιάσεις

τόσοι πολλοί ποιητές και τόσοι λίγοι αναγνώστες...

γιορτάζεις κάθε φορά που θυμάσαι, αγαθές πράξεις πάνω σε απλά προσωπικά σχέδια και σπασμένα προγράμματα, δίχως συνειδητή επίδειξη, με τυχαίες και στιγμιαίες επιλογές, γιατί θέλεις να φυτρώσει κάτι από μέσα σου, να μείνει στη σημερινή καταγραφή ημερολογίου και σαν ξεριζωθεί ν' αφήσει χώμα λεύτερο...

δυο γεμάτες δεκαετίες μελωφοβία ήταν αυτές, μια συνεχή προσπάθεια να κυβερνήσει η ησυχία πάνω από τον αστικό κι ανθρώπινο θόρυβο

M L PH B - 'T3' (DIY 2nd edition)

Polar T3 Syndrome is a condition experienced from Antarctic explorers. When they return they tend to forget, have no mood for anything at all and are cognitively impaired. At the beginning of June 2020, T3 from M L PH B (melophobia) was released just at the end of the quarantine season as a desired prelude to a new hoped-for revolution.

The sounds that exist in all versions of T3 (cassette & double cdr) were created as the sountrack of the daily nightmare lived by the world community due to the recent health crisis.

The first limited edition embedded in books of the last century did not change the world. As the writter hoped... The second promising version will not be more successful. This time for people who do not want to get stuck there is an aesthetically childish censored version! (Which, if no one ask for it, will be the last one ever given!) Will the result be the same?

... when the rivers inspired political revolutionaries ... when the New Testament took 50 years, while the Old 10 centuries ... with only words the spread spirit and catechism... when the result was far from the desired and oblivion prevails in the blind from the screens eyes.

-- text that may looks greek to you, because it is --

Το πολικό σύνδρομο T3 είναι μια κατάσταση που εντοπίζεται σε εξερευνητές της Ανταρκτικής που τους κάνει να ξεχνούν, να μην έχουν καμία διάθεση και να είναι γνωστικά εξασθενισμένοι. Στις αρχές του Ιουνίου το Τ3 από Μ L PH B (μελωφοβία) κυκλοφόρησε ακριβώς στην πρώτη λήξη της καραντίνας σαν ένα εσκεμμένο πρελούδιο για μια νέα επανάσταση.

Οι ήχοι που υπάρχουν σε όλες τις εκδόσεις του Τ3 (κασέτα, διπλό cdr) δημιουργήθηκαν ως η μουσική των καθημερινών εφιαλτών που ζούσε η παγκόσμια κοινότητα λόγω της υγειονομικής κρίσης.

Η πρώτη περιορισμένη έκδοση εντοιχισμένη σε βιβλία του περασμένου αιώνα δεν άλλαξε τον κόσμο. Η δεύτερη έκδοση με τα μισά αντίτυπα δεν θα έχει καλύτερη επιτυχία. Αυτή τη φορά για τους ανθρώπους που δεν θέλουν να κολαστούν υπάρχει και μια λογοκριμένη αισθητικά έκδοση! (Αν δεν την απαιτήσει κανείς, θα 'ναι το τελευταίο αντίτυπο που θα δοθεί ποτέ). Το αποτέλεσμα θα είναι το ίδιο;

...όταν οι ποταμοί δίνανε έμπνευση σε πολιτικούς επαναστάτες... όταν η Καινή Διαθήκη χρειάστηκε 50 χρόνια, ενώ η Παλαιά 10 αιώνες... με μόνο λόγο τη διάδοση του πνεύματος και την κατήχηση... όταν το αποτέλεσμα απείχε από το ευχόμενο κι η λήθη κυριαρχεί στα τυφλά απ' τις οθόνες μάτια.

M L PH B - Entering the Polar Syndrome

Track created after lockdown ended in Greece May 2020. It was a fully creative and productive period for melophobia. Name used is M L PH B on celebration of the 20 years of existence. Released as single track on the first Friday of August for Bandcamp Fridays, as the pandemic is far from over! Enjoy!

Melophobia - "Eurus" (2020)

The four-and-a-half-hour magnum opus with 25 tracks for the 20th anniversary of Melophobia! First digital release through Obstinacy Records, Brazil. Soon in physical format.

https://obstinacy.bandcamp.com/album/obst083-eurus

Eurus is a wind of storm, described as a turbulent wind during storms and tossing ships on the sea. Eurus (or Euros) was the god of the east wind, one of the four directional wind-gods. He was associated with the season of late summer to early autumn and dwelt near the palace of the sun-god Helios in the far east. Greece is a country in southeastern Europe, located at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa. However, Greek culture is very different to that of the eastern Europe or Asia.

This release is part of "K" [ˈkæpə] celebration for Melophobia in 2020. The 20th anniversary of its existence in the sonic world. Twenty years of experimental manipulations released in various formats as cassettes, mini discs, floppy discs, compact discs, lathe cuts, digital files, hand-written files and more. Kappa - Kʹ has a value of Twenty in the system of Greek numerals (use of the Greek alphabet).
