To all my subscribers,

I really appreciated the recent feedback you provided on the type YouTube presentation you most like, namely the 'live from my spare room' format, free from any 'AI frills' which I regrettably experimented with on a recent series of 'slideshow' style presentations of my tunes!

Another important opinion - do my subscribers prefer a typical 'YouTube Video Tile' visible to advertise my video content to new listeners, or just the 'live from my spare room' still of me playing my lyres?

In response to the results of my recent survey on whether you, my much-valued subscribers, prefer 'old fashioned' live from my spare room videos to hi-tech AI-generated dreamy imagery to accompany presentations of my tunes, I guess the old fashioned 'live from my spare room' style of video is the version that wins! Enjoy:

Hi lovely subscribers!
I'm still getting mixed messages in comments regarding the occasional presentation of my tracks I produce using a combination of dreamy AI generated images & video clips (as a change from my 'live from my spare room' videos!) - I personally love the freedom from the stifling restrictions of image licensing restrictions & uniqueness of tailor-made imagery to emphasise the specific feeling of my melodies in these YouTube presentations, but do you?

Dear Much Valued Subscribers,

I am delighted to announce that my new album, “Invocation to Athena”, is now available to pre-save on Spotify, ahead of its release across all the usual digital music platforms on 1st January, 2026:

open.spotify.com/prerelease/3XffBOVDbZuA3oVKzO2tQQ…

The tracks feature both a selection of new, original pieces for recreated ancient lyres & kithara in the distinctive expressive qualities of the original ancient Greek Modes, as well as a completely re-recorded and remastered version of the track "The Apparations of Phantasos", originally from my 2021 album, "Echoes of Ancient Greece" - the only piece of music that actually came to me in a dream!

On the morning of 6th March, 2021, I woke up with this tune still in my head & before the trance-like dream-music evaporated back into the ethers, I grabbed my cell phone and used it to record the melodic outline which I sleepily hummed into the microphone. To bring the dream-music more closely back to how I experienced it, this new recording of the track is much more vividly mixed and mastered. It is performed here, with the rich, dark and deep timbre of my Luthieros ‘Lyre of Apollo III’.

January 2026 will be a particularly significant anniversary for me - marking 20 years since I was inspired to order and teach myself to play from scratch, my first ever 10-string lyre! To mark this anniversary, I decided to include in this new release, this very same lyre, with its distinctively dark, mysterious kithara-like timbre - it is featured in track 7, “The Ghostly Minions of Melinoe".

Wishing you all a peaceful Christmas & a prosperous New Year.

Warmest wishes

Michael
