Inspired by Spock's 'Vulcan Harp', in this week's YouTube presentation, going boldly where no lyre player has gone before, here is "Future Visions" - track 2 from my ultra-experimental 2017 album, "Ascension of the Lyre" - ascending the possibilities of the recreated lyres of antiquity into the music of the far-flung future":

The title of this album features a pun on the ancient Greek legend of the ascension of Orpheus from the Underworld (as depicted on the album cover - the most famous lyre player in the literature of Classical antiquity) and my musical mission in this album, to literally ascend the lyre from its previous status as a dusty, long-forgotten ancient museum relic; onto a new musical journey into the 21st century and beyond, literally giving it a new voice, by metamorphosing it's ancient timbre with a host of contemporary studio effects.

In creating this album, my main aim is to illustrate that the recreated lyre of antiquity also has the hidden magic to transport the listener to the distant future as well as the ancient past, a 'musical spaceship' to take the listener on a fantasy voyage to strange and remote alien worlds…
