Description

The longer version of this song was posted here during my first year, but this one never made it in, although it is the original tune, written for a MacAddict magazine contest (hence the length restriction, it's exactly one minute), and the other one ("Long Walk In A Desert") is an extended remix.
As I have recently learned that this pseudo-arabic scale I made up years ago (C Db E F G Ab B C), actually exists. It's called Raga Bhairav in India...

	arabian You produce a very pro tone out of that horn. An arabian inspired piece which could fit perfectly as a soundtrack to the Prince of Persia game:) Short, but long enough to give me a feeling of a sizzling hot day in Sahara. Check out my latest song called And here comes Christmas Eve
