A Night in Persia

Written and Recorded in c. 1998

I don’t think I have suffered from any sort of dementia or any other associated mental disorder, at least through my own self-diagnosis, however, at the same time I know I have to admit that I have very little or limited memories on things I wrote or recorded in between 1997 and 1999. To be honest with you, I have no recollection on the audio track of this video until I have recently ‘discovered’ it among other audio sources I had left in the said period of time. All I can remember is, yes I tried to create something ‘oriental’ in those days and I have also discovered seemingly some blue-print versions of this work too. I don’t know why it features my own voice in the beginning, which never reappears in the rest of the recording, or how I made this recording in what manner, where and when…

The title of the track was obviously a reference to the famous jazz classic. The choice of 'Persia', rather than 'Tunisia' owes to my personal tribute to a line from Jim Morrison's When the Music's Over - 'Persian night.'
