¦«έ¦Í¦Á ¦°¦Ëά¦Ó¦Ø¦Í¦Ïς (Lena Platonos) is a Greek musician, pianist and music composer. Her third solo album, ¡ÆLepidoptera¡Ç was produced in 1986 and reissued by Dark Entries in 2018. Inspired by a scientific book on butterflies she found in a trashcan one day, the compositions follow minimalistic motifs and carefully-staged soundscapes. Lena narrates each song in deadpan fashion, skillfully reciting her surreal Greek poetry. We¡Çve recruited 4 contemporary Greek producers to remix their favorite tracks from ¡ÆLepidoptera¡Ç. First up is ¡ÈCyaniris¡É remixed by Anatolian Weapons who delivers an enchanted late-night journey through the New Wave forest. Next is ¡ÈAraschnia Levana¡É remixed by Pasiphae who speeds up the pace with machine driven melodic electro pulses. On the B-side we have June remixing ¡ÈCyaniris¡É twirling the track into a complex deep sea dive with lush drum kicks and pads. Closing out the EP is a remix of ¡È¦³¦Á ¦£¦Å¦Í¦Ǻ¦È¦Ë¦É¦Á ¦§́ Aporia Maturna¡É by Morah who leads us to the underworld of Hades via sinister squelches and full-on apocalyptic rave breakdown. All songs have been mastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The jacket is a reinterpretation of the original ¡ÆLepidoptera¡Ç cover, isolating the illustration of the butterfly/woman designed by Eloise Leigh.
