Entirely based off a particular (my favorite) interpretation of the Kudumiyanmalai musical inscriptions.  Just the first few lines.  This interpretation presumes major scale, and that the vowels indicate relative note position.  Also presumes that the rāga indicated before every musical piece in the inscription indicates the note the scale is based on.

Fairly certain that the original woulda been much different, and not just in terms of instruments.

Regardless, imagining this being played over a millennium back, albeit with radically different sounds and instruments, was very exciting, for me at any rate.

Made sometime last month, ie, May 2022.
