"dip"


Dip” in Greek: Completely, exclusively, totally, wholly...

Dip” In English: One of the uses could be to immerse for one’s baptism...

Dip”: In dance... is a move in many different styles of partner dances, often performed at the end of a dance, in which the follower leans far to the side and is supported by the leader!

In our case, the combination of the meanings of this word creates a great combination... This was the inspiration behind the name of the 5th official Miltos Marathon album "dip"!

"The years 2020-2021 may go down in history as a bad time for humanity… but as human beings, we must always face the difficulties of life with optimism and courage…In my memories from this period ,I wanted to keep, not the awful images that were “projected” every day ... but beautiful memories... such as the process of music production, so I spent all this time in the studio working on the album ". ..... Miltiadis has stated .

The 8 songs of the album are an anthology of many fresh ideas composed by Miltiadis Chalkidis but also some older compositions that were orchestrated differently and re-recorded to be included in this album.

As in the previous albums, the composition of the music and the lyrics of the songs, are signed by Miltiadis Chalkidis, who also does the vocals, plays the guitars ,all the musical instruments and takes care of programming. The recordings, mixing and the mastering of the album, as always, took place in Miltos Marathon personal recording studio.

Once again, the dominant elements of the album are the guitar skills and the unquestionable distinct voice of Miltiadis, characteristics that frame the orchestral parts and the musical themes of the compositions!

The lyrics, sometimes with humor, sometimes with a romantic touch, with sensitivity, sometimes with the need to give some...”food for thought” refer to social issues and situations that we all experience in our daily lives and other times is just stories...People's stories and personal stories that Miltiadis wants to share with us...

The album “dip”was scheduled to be released earlier than 2021,but Miltiadis chose to temporarily stop the recordings, because he wanted to “cauterize” the social and political situation that prevailed in Greece and the rest of the world at that time, with a song in Greek...So he composed, recorded and filmed the music video for "1000 threads" which was released as a single a few months before “dip”!

If we must describe this album in just a few words, we would clearly say that it is a..."dip“ Miltos Marathon album! 

So... let's let the music of Miltos Marathon flood our hearts and ears for the umpteenth time! Let's be baptized in its sounds and dance to the rhythms of the songs... 

Indeed this is a "dip“ Miltos Marathon album...

Enjoy!
