EDIT: information applied to the practice demonstrated in that perforance.

That is awesome. Most Indian music that makes it to Western ears is, to my ears, very "lite". This is a whole different story, wow.

I did a short tune in the proposed scale, without regard to Western functional chord progression, but with harmony and without a drone. I'm calling the scale Lydian-Phrygian, not just because that's how the text (Bulgarian, from the 1950's) I have calls it, but because that is how I'm thinking of it: bright below, dark above.
