Saraswathi Path (s_path.it)

Hello!

Here I am with my new track "Saraswathi Path"
So I returned to my weird experiments in the
area of music based on World Traditions. This
is the second track written under the same idea.
The first one "The Great Circle of Being" was
rather successful (it took 4th place at SunDew
Pop Compo and won 1st place at Seasons Compo,
multichannel nomination in Spring Round). So,
I decided it is worthy to come back with another
track based also in traditions of World music.
This track contains Celtic, Indian, Arabic and
Classic elements uniting together all beauty of
mentioned above trends in World Music.

Composing music is as easy as "one, two, three".
This track shows how one can switch between minor,
arabic and major scales, giving very special mood
to the track. Also interesting to see how oriental
instruments are being mixed together with celtic
and classical ones and how oriental woodwind lead
goes through celtic-like background performed by
accordeon (by the way, in fact accordeon itself is
also subsituted by tricky arranged cello...)
Percussion plays its special role complicated and
panoramic, thus widening overall track atmosphere.
So I believe you'll find much fun examining this
track...

Saraswathi - is an Indian Godess of Music. So if
you are a musician then you should walk this path -
path of Saraswathi...Who knows where can it lead You?
