Hello everyone and welcome to a history of Egypt podcast interview.

My guest today is Michael Levy, composer for ancient instruments.

Michael has been a long time friend of the podcast.

He has generously donated many of his songs for me to use on the show,

and I am incredibly grateful for his support.

I sat down with Michael via Zoom to discuss his compositions for ancient Egyptian instruments.

Michael plays a variety of instruments which are replicas of actual objects

found in Egyptian terms. As you will see, Michael is knowledgeable,

personable and very enthusiastic about his craft.

Along the way, he also breaks down some of the songs which he has written

and explains the inspirations and how he approached them.

It's a wonderful interview and I hope you will enjoy.
