Belly Dance ... Congrats on Opening this Forum.

Hi Animus

OK ... I'll be getting to work to make a tune to dedicate, but for now ...

Belly Dance (http://www.glynmuir.co.uk/ViolinAndDarbuka.mp3)

If it were a 'tune' just to be listened to, then the final 15 seconds would have been tagged on about 2:50

As it is, the dancer finishes her main presentation but around 3:05, eyeballs ONE member of the audience and reprises the theme close up one-to-one before 'returning' to the main group for finale and finish.

Respect and best wishes to you.

You are hilarious Zenda! Of course we could use a cubendo theme song.


Nice work btw. Your music is right up my alley. Do you play the double violin? And darbuka?

[BlindDogDay]

I love anything that is played with feeling, and that's why the violin is such a passionate instrument, well done Glyn.

Hi Stacy and Larry

Glad you like it. My relevant background is that I used to play guitar in a Bollywood Cover band and we'd gig a lot at the School of Oriental and Asian Studies ... an arm of London University, England. It became a meeting ground and melting pot/salad bowl and we'd often find ourselves forced/encouraged to join in each others' acts. I did not play darbuka, but often a belly dancer and 'her' darbuka player would turn up and it was my job to be as 'ood'ish as possible on my electric guitar.

In this peice, I used a standard western violin .. the only one I have ever played, and the darbuka is 'Wizoo Darbuka' ... a sampleset glued together into a VSTi format.


I had a listen to your music, Stacy and it's definitely up my alley, I enjoyed it a LOT.

FWIW, Transglobal Underground, Natacha Atlas and Dead Can Dance have been a strong influence on me.

All the best

Hi Glyn,

I see: You have your highly visible signature again!:D

Good violin performance here - very unusual and slightly orientalic sounding. And ... yes, I like it. Great work! :).

Hey... I love the violin.. great playing and sound treatment.

Do you have some other violin tracks you can post? Would love to hear more.

Hi Thonex

Thank you for your kind words ... I Do have a bit more violin .. different style ... a birthday song I did for a friend in which I am working in, well, I suppose it would be called 'blues violin' style .... I will post it here tomorrow.

All the best
Glyn
