Hi guys, just had some spare time and I made not one but five mixes in various styles! I will present them to you not in the same banal way but like disguised mixes behind different artifacts dating from the Antiquity period in Ancient Thrace. Those artifacts are known as the Borovo treasure (since it was discovered nearby a small village in Bulgaria named Borovo) and it consists of 5 artifacts made out of silver and gilt and which belonged to an ancient king known as Kotys I.



This vessel is known as a rhyton, vessel only used during special rituals or wine-drinking feasts. Every rhyton has a tiny hole at the bottom from which the wine passes through. This one has as a decoration a beautiful Thracian goddess known to represent the fertility of the lands and their peaceful nature. The lands of these people were so rich mainly because they had all four seasons and the nature reborned herself every spring from the winter dream even more beautiful than before. Learn more about their beautiful nature guarded by their goddess here:

The final rhyton from this royal set, symbolising an other animal, the horse. The horse is the symbol of the sun in the religion of the Thracians. These people praised their horses not only during their rituals but also in their everyday life. All the heroes and kings are riding horses. The magnificent horses were also decorated with beautiful jewels and other ornaments in order to testify the power of their hero. Drinking from a rhyton like that one rejoices your strength as well.

This jug is unique not only because its made out of silver and gilt but also because of the scene described on it. The scene, representing a feast in which even gods are participating along side with many mythological creatures, heroes and ordinary people. The party is filled with red wine and not a single participant is left without a drink. Since these people did believe that there is an afterlife, they weren't really caring about their Earth one, so the parties were very frequent. And why they should? In this after life, they thought, only parties there will be, no need to work. Who knows, maybe they are right. Learn more about their feasts here:

This huge plate is known as a phiale, another vessel used for the feasts and the red wine. But these beautiful huge phiales were reserved only for the highest figure in their society itself, the King, and more particularly Kotys the First, the one that created the huge united Thracian state, one of the most powerful states in the Balkan Peninsula for its time. All the internal conflicts were forgotten, the only thing that was important now is the glorious development of the Thracian culture and life across all the territories. Trading and cultural interactions with other civilizations from that time were not forbidden as well. Known are many, like the ones with the Ancient Greek, Macedonians, Persians and so on. This marvelous culture was living its Golden Age during that time. Learn more about it here:

The pure idea of coming up with such a compilation deserves already great respect!

This shows (at least to me) that your soul and heart are deeply connected to music. People who create thoughtfully, who give their work a name and meaning are the type of artist that I like most.

No technology in mixing can replace the love for music!

Btw. you should upload this on the bowl, too.

Thanks for the kind words! I always try to give a name to my mixes and what they represent in my opinion. It feels that you are much more attached to the music that way.

About uploading it on the bowl, well, I dont use torrents so I think I will pass this.

ziptnf, Altered-Mind, I hope you enjoy them!

My idea originated from my job since I am a guide in the museum that stores that treasure. I tried to incorporate the music with these beautiful items, the different styles and so on.
