This is so amazing. I read Proclus' Timaeus commentary recently and was really lost in the part where he was explaining the metaphysics of musical modes, and I feel like this has improved my understanding. The instrument sounds phenomenal. 💞

"Ancient Greek Blues" isn't it?

3:35 Could be just me, does it sound akin to black metal to anyone else too?

I saw a guy, I think it was Brian Kay strumming a lyre like a guitar with mutes and tonal melody notes, and now I hear the enharmonic and even uses of harmonic minor for a chromatic effect. This is most heavy metal instrument ever. No one is talking about this 🤯. Awesome lesson though! Thank you for this! This brings me new ideas!
