Asteriai (Nymphs of the Stars) - a spontaneous improvisation for solo chelys (tortoise shell form) replica ancient Greek lyre, in the profound and timeless ancient Greek Phrygian mode, (equivalent intervals as D-D on the white notes of the piano and misnamed the 'Dorian' Mode in the Middle Ages) in the just intonation of antiquity.

This piece forms track 5 of my album, "The Lyre of Hermes":

The contemplative music of Erik Satie and other composers, revisited by Harp, Indian Bamboo Flute & Sax – where Classical Music meets and melts with World Music and Improvisation.

La musique contemplative d’Erik Satie et d’autres compositeurs, revisitée par la harpe, la flute indienne et le saxophone – ou quand la musique classique rencontre les musiques du monde et l’improvisation.

Die kontemplative Musik von Erik Satie und anderen Komponisten, von Harfe, Indischer Bambusflöte und Saxophon neu interpretiert – wo Klassik, Weltmusik und Improvisation sich begegnen und miteinander verschmelzen.

MUSICA CALLADA

Two sitars sing over the continuing heartbeat defined by a frame drum in solitude. The mood flows and navigates the tempo as the voices of sitars intertwine melodically leading to final resolution.

Sitars Sing in Solitude

Michael Levy is a UK-based composer for the recreated lyres of antiquity, whose musical mission is to create an entirely new musical genre, which could best be described as a 'New Ancestral Music' - dedicated to creating new music for the recreated ancient lyre, featuring an exotic palette of ancient musical modes and intonations not heard for almost 2000 years.

Michael has collaborated with the Grammy award winning Canadian composer, Rufus Wainwright - Rufus musically incorporated one of Michael's "Hymn to Zeus"  in two scenes of his second opera, "Hadrian" - which premiered in Toronto on 13th October 2018.

In 2022, Michael collaborated with the iconic American artist, Jeff Koons – his music for recreated ancient Greek kithara is currently the main soundscape of Koon’s animatronic sculpture, “Apollo Kithara” (2020-2022) on view at DESTE’s Project Space on the Greek island of Hydra.
