about

The spec for this Tunesmiths challenge was to write and record an Indian piece. Not possessing a sitar, tabla or such like, it became clear that I would have to create an Eastern sound with the instruments I had at my disposal. As a result, my 6 and 12 string guitars were tuned to DADDAD to give a richer sound whilst I was able to make my dobro sound a bit like a sitar. My MIDI keyboard also provided the tabla percussion sounds and the nearest I could get to a sarangi at the end.

In the middle section, I recycled the sound of waves at Broughty Ferry beach that I used in the first volume of Tunesmiths songs whilst my son Sam added the necessary drone sound on a homemade didgeridoo made out of plastic piping.

The title "भारतीय राग means Bhāratīya Rāga which is Hindi for "Indian Melody".
