On the Shores of the Dead Sea

This is a guitar piece in classical style in 17 notes per octave using the 17 version of the phyrigian mode. For the composition, I developed a framework last night and this morning and then in Jazz style improvised around the pre-determined framework.

Catching up to this one, too. Picking favorite modes is like picking
favorite children, but I've always liked phrygian. This is a nice
scale that captures the phrygian mood nicely, and the piece is well
put together: I'll bet most people wouldn't know that it's microtonal,
despite the very flat character of that first step.

Nice work.

Regards,
Jake

Thanks for the listen and comment on this as well - I enjoyed working on
this one more than most so I'm glad to see you enjoyed it.
