Melan Istion ( = Black Sales )
Angelos Karelias

Melan Istion (Μέλαν Ἰστίον = Black Sales), has been constructed by filed recordings from the area of Sounion. The composition explores the connection between the Greek Mythology and Music. Melan Istion is inspired by the myth of King Aegeus who commits suicide. He fell from the Temple o Poseidon, because he believed that his son, Theseus was dead. The first section is an allegory about the first meeting between Aegeus and Theseus. The initial "struggle" of sounds demonstrates the difficulties in their relationship but the evolution of sound demonstrates the Aegeus' recognition and eventually love for his son.The second section describes the agony of Aegeus while waiting for his son to return form Crete, until the moment he commits suicide, thinking that his son is dead. According to the myth Theseus set off with a black sail, promising to his father, Aegeus, that if successful kill Minotaur, he would return with a white sail. Theseus forgot to put up the white sails instead of the black ones, so Aegeus believes he was dead. The Third section is composed of the originals recording of the sea and wing around the Temple of Poseidon, without any processing.
