Description : Originally I wanted to create a Indian Rhythm loop but I missed the melodic part. So I combined the Rhythm with a plucking Technique which is called Bol or bols like da dire dire dire or da-re da-re da and the Technique of Gamaka which means the shaking of notes, an important part of ornamentation in Indian classical music to express emotions.
I have chosen this scale: C D F G A B flat in Indian Notation: Sa Re Ma Pa Dha ni
Live recorded with my new Tascam DR 100, I used more MIC GAIN to get better power and tone quality.

    Listened to your new creation on soundcloud, sone of the sounds I have never heard before because I do not listen to this kind of "noise" if I would call it. But there are people who seem to have fun with this energetic din.
    About my loops I suggest that you try to get smooth transitions from, that would sound better to get a flow and not so abruptly. The main thins is that you had fun in doing it!! Regards Jens

    Aniketos, Merci beucoup for this track on soundcloud.
    I enjoyed to listen to it. It's on of the best tracks how you worked successful and intelligent with a loop. Good arrangement and creative Idea, it is a pleasure how you enriched the sound of my Sarod playing. You found the right mood and character for this kind of music.
    Keep it up and continue in this manner.
    Aniketos is a greek name. I have seen from your profile that you live in France. Are you Greek?

    Hi JROD, would be fair to give credit to the creator of the melodic part of the Sarod, That was me. Especially it you publish it on youtube. Alsp the source Looperman was not mentioned.

    Hi Seba, I listened to the music from youtube. I am sure this Instrument is called Rabab, which is played in Afghanistan.
    In my loop I play on the indian string instument SAROD which is played with metal Strings which provides a brighter, metallic sound. The Rabab is a furher development of the Sarod. The Rabab uses gut Strings and sounds much softer and the pitch is lower than the sarod.
    I found a good recording on youtube, so you get an impression how it looks like and about the sound and how it is played. Even a teenager like you is playing the Rabab.

    Rabab is a lute-like musical instrument originating from central Afghanistan It derives its name from the Arab rebab which means "played with a bow" but in Central Asia the instrument is plucked and is distinctly different in construction. The rubab is mainly used by Pashtun, Tajik, Turkish, Kashmiri, Baluch and Iranian Kurdish classical musicians. Rabab is a national music instrument of Afghanistan.
