Byzantone

Born out of restriction

Having been without the sonic nor lyrical inspiration to finish the pending work, "Byzantone" came about after deciding to spend a day off with the self-imposed assignment to "create a short groove in 7/8-time using the Byzantine (double harmonic major)-scale and its derived harmonies".

In less technical terms: the music had to be in an odd meter and draw upon a non-Western scale or mode.

The track was completed in a "see how far you can get within a few hours"-time constraint to keep spontaneity.

Main instruments were a Mutable Instruments Shruti for squelchy synthesis, piano and electric guitar.

The result would probably not be out of place in a spy movie.
