Creation of Pod 19

Inspired by seeing Talvin Singh live, I wanted to create a piece using a sitar like sound. 3 sounds were used with the ebow to create the 'drone'. Sitar and strings for drones and a holdsworth sound for the melodic element. The other parts was the improvised 'sitar' solo and an organ playing a more western progression. This is what the melodic element of the drone followed. Sort of a blend between eastern drones and western progressions. A melding of the two.
