Temple Lyre

The Lyre is an ancient U-shaped harp originating from Ancient Greece. We recorded the full range of a beautiful 13-string instrument and have programmed it into this highly playable Kontakt instrument. We collaborated with the world-renowned Lyre expert, Kleopas, to capture this beautiful recording.

Temple Lyre would be perfect for any composer looking to produce film or TV music in need of a mystic and ancient sound.

Sometimes when I'm on the brink of forgetting that I'm a singer, a project like @skidvis's ancient Greek-inspired Icarus Spire will come along!
