Michael Levy | Apatheia (Freedom from Passion) @MichaelLevyMusic | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
A live performance for solo lyre, of "Apatheia (Freedom from Passion)" - track 8 from my 2023 album inspired by ancient Greek Philosophy, "Ataraxa (Inner Harmony)". Available from all the usual digital music platforms, CD quality audio is also available from Bandcamp:
michaellevy.bandcamp.com/album/ataraxia-inner-harmony
This album attempts to evoke through meditative music for recreated ancient lyre, the philosophical quest to achieve the ancient Greek ideal of Ataraxia – a feeling of total inner harmony & freedom from anxiety, which is one of the core criteria required to bring a sense of meaning to our own lives.
In ancient Greek stoicism, "Apatheia” refers to a state of mind in which one is not disturbed by the negative passions. Apatheia in turn yields Ataraxia - a sense of tranquillity that comes from having developed an attitude of equanimity toward whatever the world bestows on us during our finite lives.
One of the greatest sources of our negative passions are regrets. We must overcome the regrets and mistakes we might have made along the journey of life - the more regrets we carry forward, the less happiness we can experience. Regrets will actually deprive us of meaning from our lives!
The track features once more, the distinctively poignant quality of the ancient Greek Phrygian mode, in geometrically pure just intonation to musically evoke a feeling of regret.
