Fool... (thing)

An album of compositions written and performed by Mark Deutsch primarily on Bazantar and sitar. Drawing on many musical influences, the overall sound of this album is somewhat Indian, but traces of western classical music, and jazz. The sound of the Bazantar ranges from delicate, violin-like bowed passages to the thunderous roar of a symphony orchestra going full tilt.
