About "1001 Nights... AFTER live : DHIKR"
Dhikr is the name for a spiritual group practice in the Islamic world where the name of God is repeated while undulating the body to the rhythm of loud, powerful breathing.
The song has 3 distinct movement: first an ad lib known in the Arabic tradition as Taqsim where the Oud improvise on a Japanese pentatonic scale. Then the first theme is played, followed by an improvised section. And last the second theme and consequent improvisation in a slight faster tempo on a layer of 2 Persian Santur and Oriental percussion.
