Michael Levy | The Discord of Eris (Microtonal Improvisation for Ancient Greek Tortoise Shell Lyre) @MichaelLevyMusic | Uploaded May 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Eris, Roman Discordia, in Greco-Roman mythology, the personification of strife. She was called the daughter of Nyx (Night) by Hesiod, but she was sister and companion of Ares (the Roman Mars) in Homer’s version. Eris is best known for her part in starting the Trojan War

In this improvisation, I attempt to evoke the feeling of discord, by the use of the dissonant, exotic-sounding ancient Greek Archytas Enharmonic Genus - a microtonal ancient Greek musical mode, which features the use of quartertones:

The lyre featured in this performance, has a resonator fashioned from a foraged Greek land tortoise & a plectrum carved from goats horn - custom made in modern Greece, by Luthieros:
