Song of Seikilos
Joshua Sellers, lyre and voice
2,000 year old music: This is a video of me in 2009 playing a lyre somewhat close in sound to the ancient Greek kithera.
The music here is the oldest surviving complete musical composition, known today as the ‘Song of Seikilos.’ The text and music notation were engraved on a Greek tombstone in ancient Ephesus (in modern-day Turkey).
A translation of the song:As long as you live, shine.
Let nothing grieve you beyond measure,
for life is short
and time will claim its toll.I don’t know ancient Greek, though I can read it. A good friend of mine, a Greek Orthodox priest, gave me some lessons in Koinos Greek years ago which unfortunately I never completed.
The arrangement of the piece is mine.
Esto traduce mi actual sentir cuando estoy sola un dia como hoy ..en el que no hay ese caos del ser o esa lucha incesante que llevo conmigo misma.

the tears of sleeping birds (drawing in progress)
I ve been searching for a name for this drawing that shows my mood of few months ago “very dark and sad” :/ actually is not the case anymore !
this morning i fell in a strange article about “moths feeding on the tears of birds” and i thought that it was the perfect name .
A species of moth drinks tears from the eyes of sleeping birds using a fearsome proboscis shaped like a harpoon, scientists have revealed. The new discovery - spied in Madagascar - is the first time moths have been seen feeding on the tears of birds.
