It was interesting to see that people recover ancient music,but somehow it wasn't very inspiring what i listen,maybe the tempo is too fast or didn't reproduce sound originally,anyway these guys deffinatelly bring you back in times of ancient mysteries very authentically.Enjoy :

I'm sorry but this "music" is contemporary, and it has nothing to do with Ancient Greek Music, neither it would be possible to do such kind of music in ancient greece. Most of the sounds you see in these videos are made with technologies only available recently. The instruments, the tunings and the way to play them, the EQ, the compression, reverbs and delays, etc... are also shaped by Anglo-american recorded music conventions shaped by the industries of the 20th century.

You may not like Ancient Greek music, or it might be totally different from what you expect or imagine, but the reconstitutions of the Cambridge scholars I've posted here, are the closest you'll get to actual ancient greek music, in a time where you only had singing without microphones and very few instruments (namely the aulos, the lyre and a few light percussion).

Don't forget that your ears and your imagination are already shaped by the world you live in, full of technology, amplification, etc... The world up to the 20th century had none of that. All music of the distant past is acoustic and mainly vocal driven, and the majority of it with very few instruments or even just a capella (most music was folk song/stories, nursery rhymes, labour songs, healing songs).
Play fair and square!

yeah, but before atlantis disappeared, they had technologies beyond anything we have!

steam powered oscillators, played through amplifiers, with pipe organ tubes to amplify and further change the sound :o :o
then add the magickal designs of their music spaces, with infinite reverbs and tuned delays.
even the sound of a pin dropping in one of those spaces blossomed in to a concerto like no one has heard since :cry:

damn the rising seas, taking humanity's greatest artistic and technological advances :(
leaving us witj bach, beethoven, beatles, beach bous and lots of other people beginning with b.
they dont start with a out of reverence to atlantis, which as you can see, starts with an a.

I agree we are shaped by modern technology,it's more imagination and inspiration when we think about the past,than reality,but this band style and sound inspire my interest of ancient music so prefer to listen them and to think that the past has been more interesting,than it is :)
When somebody say Atlantis,people usually think it's legend,but it seem the story with discovered troy may happen again - there is an object called 'Eye of Sahara' which is absolutely what Plato described.
Cheers :)

The world up to the 20th century enjoyed no technology?

Every advance in instrument design and construction is a technological advance. Whoever figured to measure string length and divide it, coming up with 3:2 and 4:3 and working out from that drove a technological advance.

The OP is looking for some magic in his life, this seems not the spot for that lecture. Maybe we can affirm some things and lend direction to the notions, if they seem naive. I think that's a sign of openness
