The song is inspired by the dervish dance they still perform in Konya, mostly for tourists. The mixture of 4/4 and 3/4 could sound strange, but everything looks strange in Konya...

Hi, this is Mael. I'm a one-man-band. Making music has been my obsession for more than 20 years. Today I have enough audio material to burn 8 CDs. All material is unreleased. My music is purely instrumental, using synths and computer. It goes many dirrections, it is a mixture, hard to put it into a certain genre. As a teenager I was fond of progressive rock (YES, GENESIS, JETHRO TULL, KING CRIMSON, GENTLE GIANT) and those days electronica (EMERSON, VANGELIS, TOMITA, SCHULZE, WAKEMAN). Of course, the experiments of early PINK FLOYD releases and the power of rockers like LED ZEPELIN or ROLLING STONES marked my development. I think I’ve got the best of XX’th century pop music. Then I married a professional musician who guided me into the universe of classical music wich is too rich to name preferences. Then, studying Antropology, I discovered ethnic music, ritual and spiritual. The world of the ancients, the basic. This was the beginning in understanding modern art. But today I come here on SOUNDCLICK with my progrock project called BYSANTIUM. Enjoy!

Story behind the song
The ancient Iconium was mentioned in the New Testament as a primarily Christian church. Then it became the capital town of the Sufi mouvment, and the residence of Rumi. Today it's an important touristic center, mainly because of the Sufi tradition.
