Dil-Keşîde Fasıl - وصلة دلكشده - (Relaxing Arabic Music for Harp)

[fernandoamartin]

Hi. Last year I started to try to induce sleep using some relaxing music. Then I decided to create my own relaxing music. After some months I completed my project creating five pieces rendered with harp sounds, based on the rare and beautiful maqam dilkashidah and using some of the instrumental forms common in Arabic wasla and Turkish fasıl.
I typed the melody in Musescore to visualize it clearly, exported it as xml and imported into Rosegarden where I adjusted fine details and added accompaniment, exported it to midi and rendered the audio using Timidity and free harp samples, since Timidity is still the only free software that I know that is able to change the tuning of a whole midi piece, on the fly, while it's being played, based only on sysex messages. (Does anyone know another?)
After all I listened to them awake to analyze their quality and tried to fall sleep listening to them. Well, now that I think I succeeded in both I'm sharing my work with you.
Thank you for listening and for the attention.
