Lena Platonos
Balancers
Dark Entries · 2021
The California label Dark Entries has released a compilation of works by the legend of Greek electronic music, Lena Platonos. The album Balancers consists of previously unreleased recordings made from 1982 to 1985. Previously, Platonos worked with Dark Entries on reissues of her solo albums Gallop, Sun Masks, and Lepidoptera released in the 80s. Platonos is known for her work with avant-garde electronics and impressionistic poetry in Greek. The twelve compositions on Balancers are enveloped in dark soundscapes and jagged analog rhythms, while the poetry is rich in images of Greek mythology in its dark Nietzschean interpretation. Overall, the perfect soundtrack for your next contemporary art exhibition. Russian-speaking listeners may find special interest in the composition Russian Lament (Русский Плач) - a poem in Russian read against an abstract sound collage.
