Melevona is a musical project in celebration of life and its many varieties, and an honouring of the incredible science behind our understanding of it. With piano and guitar-based symphonic instrumentals, Melevona captures the harmony of the interdependence of life forms and the melancholy of its destruction. Melevona is founded by the Norwegian composer/producer, pianist/guitarist, explorer and environmentalist, Anders C. Krogh.

Within just 1 year after the first release in 2023, Melevona got hundreds of thousands of streams on Spotify and established a large community on social media for shared passion for elegant contemporary classical music and the natural world of our beautiful planet. Melevona releases new music every 6 weeks and gives the fans regular updates and insights into the creative process of each piece.

Anders C. Krogh has his entire life been deeply engaged in the fight for the protection of the world's tropical rainforest – the home of up to 80 % of all life forms on earth. He has lived 18 months with indigenous peoples in the Amazon, and his work with Rainforest Foundation Norway has led to the establishment of several indigenous reserves. The Melevona project is a dedication to his two great passions: Music and the the conservation of nature.

Life is everything! Without it, nothing can matter. It takes life for the world to be perceived and have any meaning whatsoever. All life forms serve this purpose and each variety represents a different way of perception. The variety of life is the currency of life, and must be treated as such.

We live in a time where one form of life, human, threatens the very survival of most others. Rarely, if ever, in the history of life itself has one form of life so drastically devaluated all other life forms. Surely, human egocentrism, or anthropocentrism, must be the most critical moral issue of our time.

The fact of evolution by means of natural selection may well be the greatest insight about life ever to be discovered. Elaborated by Darwin and Wallace, and articulated by Thomas Huxley, they demonstrated that all life forms are related and that no form of life is more unique than any other. A couple of centuries later, we still have a long way to go before this valuable insight is properly reflected in our self-perception as a species.
