| Story. I
was asked by a music publisher to create a Middle Eastern tune
depicting a scene in a movie which is being recorded recently.
The scene was happening in some auto-garage and the (Middle
Eastern) mechanics were listening to their "boom-box" (that
was the wording from them).
I think the tune wasn't chosen. But I
believe it became o of my finest ones. Ginka, my future wife,
told me that while listening to it she imagines a Middle
Eastern village where people are not rushing. A woman with a
"fire-look" in her eyes is dancing to it. When I asked her: is
that you dancing?, she said: yes. Hence the name. |
| Instruments:
Electric Guitar
(with distrtion) and
Baglamas playing the melody. Other
instruments: bass, keyboard (drums, organ, strings, piano,
Orchestra Hit).
Rhythm:
tsifteteli |
| Musically,
it's an interesting mélange of Distorted Electric Guitar
playing over Near Eastern Cocek rhythm. Baglamas is used as
the contrasting instrument - I tried many keyboard sounds, but
the real Baglamas worked best.
Ginka said, that actually both Electric
Guitar and Baglamas are "rebellious instruments. That's gives
the tune it's edge. The scale used in the main melody is known
as
Hijaz (1, b2, 3, 4, 5, b6, b7, 8). It's the combination of
this scale (and tremolo) and later the Rock/Blues Minor
Pentatonic in the same song that really gives me a big buzz.
