In ancient Greek mythology, Melinoe was the goddess nymph of ghosts and spirits. She was either the daughter of Hades and Persephone or of Persephone and Zeus. Melaina ("The Black One") is the under-earth or chthonic aspect of the Greek Great Goddess, said to bring nightmares!
This sinister characteristics of Melinoe are evoked here, via the use of an unsettling chromatic variant of the ancient Greek Phrygian Mode.
This 2015 album was recorded in collaboration with the latter day ancient Greek lyre makers "Luthieros", who are based in Thessaloniki, Greece

The original EP length album features a recreated 'chelys' - the tortoise shell form of lyre played in ancient Greece, which had a resonator either made from an actual tortoise shell, or from wood carved in the form of a tortoise shell.
The lyre I am playing, is the Lutherios "Lyre of Apollo III" model - massive in size, with a soundboard of goat skin & a tortoise shell style resonator made in much more resonant wood, the instrument is certainly worthy of the mythological deity which inspired its creation!
My book, featuring sheet music of 13 of my original melodies for recreated ancient lyre is also published by Luthieros:

Alluring yet sinister. It's fascinating watching how this lyre is played. Thanks for the description on Melinoe. Looking forward to the re-release.
Thanks so much for your invaluable feedback! I literally created this tune yesterday, so I can now certainly feel more confident & rest assured on its inclusion in the re-release in progress. Cheers!
@@MichaelLevyMusic How great! I really enjoyed it. Best of luck in your creative endeavors.
How can man bear to not close their eyes and feel the gentle serenity of an imagined perfect wife slowly feeding him grapes? This is the music which lures men to their doom. Magical
Jokes aside, amazing work good sir
Nicee We would love to feature you on our music blog!

I just noticed that you had a premiere. Luckily I have been able to see it. Top-notch as always!
Its so wonderful!!!!! I love this one!
Definitely a haunting, beautiful melody! My only source for ancient music sounds and melodies is this channel!! Bravo!
Many thanks for your much valued support! Without RUclips, I would have no public platform to gather any feedback on my new tunes, before I commit to the time, expense & effort of permanently publishing them across all the digital music platforms....indeed, if it was thanks to subscribee comments from my early days on RUclips, which inspired me to independently produce my very first album of lyre music back in 2008!
