This album features a series of mythological soundscapes, carved out of the ancient timbre of recreated lyres & kithara, inspired from classical Greece! It is my sincere hope, that the listener will be transported on a 'musical adventure in time travel' through a tapestry of ancient Greek mythology.
The tracks feature both a selection of new, original pieces for recreated ancient lyres & kithara in the distinctive expressive qualities of the original ancient Greek Modes, as well as a completely re-recorded and remastered version of the track "The Apparations of Phantasos", originally from my 2021 album, "Echoes of Ancient Greece" - the only piece of music that actually came to me in a dream!
January 2026 will be a particularly significant anniversary for me - marking 20 years since I was inspired to order and teach myself to play from scratch, my first ever 10-string lyre! To mark this anniversary, I decided to include in this new release, this very same lyre, with its distinctively dark, mysterious kithara-like timbre - it is featured in track 6, "The Ghostly Minions of Melinoe".
