about
This album features a selection of original compositions for archaic replica lyres & harps, in some of the most hypnotic, mesmerizing ancient Middle Eastern musical modes I have so far experimented with.
The diverse album features original compositions for Archaic African Arched Harp (the 9-string Ugandan "Adungu"), Davidic Harp & Biblical Lyre, as well as an epic Harp & Lyre Duet for track 2, "Realm of the Ancestors", with the talented Harpist, Rebecca Penkett:

The Adungu, an archaic 9-string arched harp from Uganda, with a primitive skin soundboard, is virtually identical to the ancient Egyptian Arched Harp. This features in track 3, “Ancient Sunrise”.
The beautifully hand-crafted “Davidic Harp” by Marini Made Harps which also features in the album, is in fact a lyre (the strings pass over a bridge). This lyre is a treble register evocation of the 10-string Biblical Kinnor – the lyre once played by my very own, very ancient Levite ancestors in the Temple of Jerusalem, to accompany the singing of the Levitical Choir...
I use the harp-like tone of this lyre, for track 1 of the album, “Sacred Reverie” – which also features the natural sounds of running water. My Davidic Harp can also be heard in track 2, in the unique duet of Harp & Lyre, "Realm of the Ancestors" & in track 4, "Ancient Visions".
The Mid East Kinnor, is a tenor register evocation of the 10-string Biblical Kinnor, based on illustrations of lyres depicted on ancient Jewish coins from the time of the The Bar Kokhba Revolt against the Roman occupation of Judea (132–136 CE). I use this lyre for the remaining tracks on the album, which feature hypnotoc, ancient Middle Eastern Musical Modes.
“Ancient Vibrations" is ideal for Reiki, relaxation & spiritual contemplation....
