This tune uses medieval and middle eastern instruments with a subtle hint of bass electronica. Unusually for us, there is no drum kit - it's all frame drums and there is no bassline as such. The rhythm is Arabian, called Wahida, and the maqam (musical scale) used is also Arabian and is called Maqam Shehnaz. We break all rules of how one is supposed to use these things, however.

The title is from a character in Andre Norton's Witch World series of fantasy books, which we love. The images in the video (except for the cover art) are by fantasy art legend Rodney Matthews. We have not asked permission so if he (or another copyright holder) objects, we will, of course, remove the video but we hope it's seen as a respectful fanboy homage. That's what it is!
