Michael Levy is a composer and lyrist deeply immersed in the evocative world of ancient music revival. As an avid performer and researcher, his craft revolves around the recreation and performance of music using reconstructed ancient instruments, particularly focusing on the lyre. His pursuit to uncover and reinterpret the musical traditions of long-gone civilizations has led to a discography rich with the names of ancient cultures and mythological references, which resonate with a timeless and haunting quality.

Levy's work is a testament to his dedication to musical archaeology and his passion for bringing the sounds of antiquity to modern audiences. His albums, such as "The Lyre of Hermes," "Ancient Greek Magic," and "The Ancient Egyptian Lyre," take listeners on an auditory journey through the music that might have filled the halls and temples of Greco-Roman and Egyptian societies. Embarking on a quest to reconstruct the past, Michael Levy's music serves both as a window into the ancient soul and an invitation to explore the universal and enduring power of melody and rhythm passed down through millennia.
