Mid-East Tension

I did this piece of music over a couple of hours this afternoon using Xewton Music Studio on my iPod Touch 2G. I also used an Akai Synthstation 25 keyboard to play the parts. I basically started with this lovely middle-eastern string sound and built the arrangement from there, gradually making it bigger and more enormous.

It goes without saying that the music was inspired in part by the news coming out of Egypt this past week.
