Balanced blend of western & eastern culture through the use of Romantic strings,Greek folk clarinet,Arabic oud against a slow rumba ostinato played by the Dumbek.

	Story Behind the Song The motivation was to make a perfect mix of eroticism & sensuality with spirituality combining the western romanticism (strings) with that of the East ( Middle eastern instruments ). I first expressed & recorded the string part on the sequencer.Then the rest of the band except for the clarinet player played on the spot against the sequence.On another occasion I had the clarinet player come to the studio & record a few taksims (impros) on a specific middle eastern mode ....picked the one i liked the best & mixed it with the rest.Very simple ,flowing process.
