Faze

Please note: MP3s are only kept online for a short time, and if this entry is from more than a couple of weeks ago, the music probably won't be available to download any more.
Neatly divided into two equal halves, "Chidiya" begins like an operetta -- the music bent and stretched to the singer's words -- and ends like a particular nonexistent kind of film. To wit, I'm thinking of movies that end with - or, more accurately, do not continue beyond -- an infinite pan across a rich, miniature landscape. After two minutes of melodic restlessness, a brief, bewitching tune emerges and is endlessly repeated with only subtle variation. This might be boring, I know, but it's not: Everything is contained in that sad little riff and, for its duration, there is nothing outside of it.
