about

It has long been thought that the music of the ancients had never been notated until now
instrumentalist Gareth Koch and lyricist Steve Kilbey held long anddeep consultations
With archaeologists who recently have come relatively close to deciphering musical scripts glyphs and pictograms
Gathered from such cities as Rome, Nineveh, Byzantium , Tyre , Carthage and Ilium the site of ancient Troy
Working with language scholars and local musicians we have attempted to bring these ancient songs alive
We have endeavoured to render these ancient songs in a manner that its comprehensible to the modern listener
These recordings and songs represent the thoughts and sounds of a distant antiquity
Here then is the past
And now
the past is here
