TWO GREENHOUSES (bean piece 2)

“A whole world of pain is contained in these words.’ How can it be contained in
them? - It is bound up with them. The words are like an acorn from which an
oak tree can grow.”
After reading this passage, confusion and curiosity led me to compose a piece to
explore questions/reactions occurred in my mind. One of the first questions is
that how can one be emotionally affected from a sentence which has no
intention to be poetic or dramatic but only to exemplify a language phenomenon
in a direct way. The thing made me to use this sentence as a text is its potential
to evoke ideas and emotions by forcing one to make associations in one’s mind.
Otherwise the sentence won’t show where/how “A whole world of pain is
contained.”. This dependency on individual association networks opens the
doors for multiple meaning.
Multiple meaning corresponds to multiple perspective of time, aesthetic and
narrative in the piece. The piece is built on interactions and isolations between
these aspects. Differences and familiarities between blocks in terms of these
aspects evolve to three sections because of proportional alterations.
In the piece, I used the sentence in many different ways, sometimes as musical
material based on its phonetic structure, sometimes to create a theatrical drama
between voice and flute, sometimes very direct and plain, sometimes melted in
texture and sometimes by focusing on its syntactic construction to shape the
form of the piece.

it's perfect

Ο ΜΑΖΟΗΑ παρουσιάζει το νέο του album με τον απειλητικό τίτλο «Ας τους Σκοτώσουμε Όλους και Μετανιώνουμε Ύστερα».

Το «Ας Τους Σκοτώσουμε Όλους...» είναι γνήσιο παιδί μίας πολυδιάστατης εποχής ψηφιακών μέσων και γρήγορης ταχύτητας, όπου τα πάντα μοιάζουν να περιφέρονται γύρω από μία μαύρη τρύπα. Indie ροκ και πανκ τραγούδια, ποπ μπαλάντες και hip hop επιρροές συνθέτουν το πολύπλευρο μουσικό προφίλ του δίσκου. Στιχουργικά, περισσότερο κατασταλαγμένος από ποτέ και χωρίς να χάνει τον αυτοσαρκασμό του, καταθέτει 17* ελληνόστιχα τραγούδια, που υμνούν την αρχή και το τέλος του έρωτα, την ελπίδα και την απελπισία και αναμετριούνται με την πατριαρχία, την βαρεμάρα της καθημερινότητας, το κοινωνικό τέλμα και τον θάνατο. 

Ο Τζίμης Πολιούδης  ηχογράφησε το άλμπουμ, τον Ιούνιο του 2022, απομονωμένος στο σπίτι του, αφουγκραζόμενος προσωπικά αλλά και εξωτερικά ερεθίσματα και γεγονότα. Η συνηθισμένη του δημιουργική μοναχικότητα σ’ αυτό τον δίσκο διακόπτεται από ενδιαφέρουσες συνεργασίες: η Nalyssa Green συμμετέχει στο ντουέτο «Αποσμητικό», ο Θωμάς Στρατάκης (Green Was Greener) συνυπογράφει την μουσική στα κομμάτια «Μελλοντικέ Μου Εαυτέ» και «Τι Θα Γίνει» και ο Κώστας Θεοδωρίδης έχει γράψει τους στίχους στο «Ανώδυνο».

Κυκλοφορεί σε LP, CD και Digital album από την Ιnner Ear.

* στο CD και στο Digital album περιέχονται 17 κομμάτια, στο LP 13.

MAZOHA drops his new album with the threatening title “As tous Skotosoume Olous ke Metanionoume Istera (Let’s Kill Them All and Regret Later)”.

“As tous Skotosoume Olous...” is a genuine child of a multidimensional era of digital media and fast-paced living, where everything seems to revolve around a black hole. Indie rock and punk songs, pop ballads and hip-hop influences make up the album's versatile sonic profile. Thematically, more mature than ever and without losing his self-mockery, he presents 17* Greek-lyric songs that celebrate the beginning and end of love, hope and despair, and confront patriarchal society, the boredom of everyday life, social stagnation, and death.
MAZOHA recorded the album in June 2022, isolated at home, focused on personal and external stimuli and events. His usual creative solitude on this album has been interrupted by interesting collaborations: Nalyssa Green made a guest appearance on the duet "Aposmitiko (Deodorant)", Thomas Stratakis (Green Was Greener) has co-written the music on the tracks “Mellodike Mou Eafte (My Future Self)" and "Ti Tha Gini (What Will Happen)" and Kostas Theodoridis wrote the lyrics on "Anodino (Painless)".
 Out on LP, CD and Digital album via Inner Ear.
* 17 tracks on CD and Digital album, 13 tracks on LP.
