Live improvisation on the Db Locrian Mode in which a completely internalized "Arabic" vein in the sound clashes with extemporaneous and evocative melodies.

(The Locrian Mode is extremely tense and unstable, and this is due to the fact that the Locrian scale from which the Mode originates does not possess the perfect fifth; the latter is indispensable for the harmonic balance of a scale since it is one of the first harmonics of a tonic).
