"α lunα kαnula" in Russian, means "the moon has disappeared",
that after the astronauts have touched down upon the moon, it is gone as a sentimental myth, as a symbol of unreality, as a subject for poetry.
"α lunα kαnula" reads both ways, making it possible for the reader to follow, to travel letter by letter all the way to the moon, and it is for this reason that the last "a" in "kαnula" is printed backwords.
A poem written by Soviet poet Andrei Voznesensky, experimenting with "visual poetry", in which the form is part of the message.

Monday, July 21, 1969 with a huge header MEN WALK ON MOON ]
July 21st ,1969 ( 02:56:15 UTC ) was the time that man stepped on the surface of the Μoon for the first time!
I have always been fascinated by space, planetary travel, spacecrafts and all space imagery but my mind has always been blown by the fact that,
50 years ago, Apollo 11’s crew did the one thing that countless people throughout mankind’s history have imagined, stepping on the Moon.
The thing, that fed the imagination and research of countless artists, and scientists through time, wasn’t hope or dream anymore, it was reality.
This year is the 50th anniversary of NASA’s Apollo 11 spaceflight that landed the first two humans on the Moon.
So, this EP is inspired by and dedicated to all the people that helped human kind to leave our home for a bit!! THANK YOU
