This composition has a strongly Indian style, mixed with some general Asian and African flavors, culminating in a trance mix.
I wasn't quite happy with the transition between techno to more "classical" India / Africa styling with the original version, so I flipped it around and began with the techno first, then transition to the more classical style. I like this transition better, which do you prefer? Enjoy! Azendia is an amalgamation of the words from Asian (Azen), Africa, India (zendia), and Zen, thus: Ah-zen-dee-ah.
The third version. This has been flipped back to the original progression, but with improvements learned from the flipped version. So this begins with the more "classical" Indian & African, and transitions into techno, using the African chants as a smoother transition. It also ends with it as well. Also fixed a LOT of out of sync rhythms and items that must have gone askew as I fiddled with things. This overall sounds much, much better. Enjoy!
