India’s Roads
The piece consists of 2 contrasting parts. The 1st part, the Intro (1st minute of music), is very picturesque, almost ambient, picturing something like early morning, the first rays of the Sun and colorful Indian landscapes. It doesn’t have fixed rhythmic structure; it just floats freely, harmoniously weaving together expressive timbres of national Indian instruments.
The 2nd part (from 1:01 to 2:15) is rather fast; it’s very rhythmical and happy, and has Indian pop music feel to it.
This piece could perfectly garnish any program about India, where there are views of the country, Indian landscape, movement. The parts can work as one piece, as well as separately. – Sitar, tanpura, sarangi, bansuri, finger cymbals, tablas, dhapali, drums, bass guitar, synthesizers // Length 2:16, 1st half – rubato, 2nd half – 134 bpm, 4/4
