Dawoud solo sitar

This is a solo sitar piece; variations of a theme of a composition of mine called "Will to Power". The scale it is built upon is a hybrid: D Eb F G# A B C D. The improvisation is intended to convey the struggle against conflicts with, and within, human free will, and its releation to Divine Will. There are a few motifs that the melody constantly returns to; symbolizing the inexorable pull of one's individual destiny.

Note: this is NOT a raga, and the rhythm is not at all based on tal. I was experimenting with concepts that are neither East nor West.

Note also my use of the sitar synthesizer (I modified a guitar synth to be triggered by sitar).

The full performance, as well as concert and interviews, will be available on DVD (and other concert pieces will be available on youtube.com soon).
