Claude  Debussy  wanted  to  be  Eric  Satie,  and  Eric  Satie  wanted  to be  Claude  Debussy.
Anyway - Debussy - the  pioneer  who  worked  in Indonesian Gamelan compositions  into  his  own  work or music  of  the  Orient composed  the  Arabesques at  a  time  where the  Orient  had  been  very  influential , culturally  to  Europe.

Bastian Lee Jones  -  with  his  cosmopolitan heritage - loves  to  play  Debussy.  That is  his version of  Arabesque  no.1 -
a  take  which will be included  in his  piano solo classic  album  called: CLIMAXUAL  INTIMACIES

1ère Gymnopédie.

Live video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZd4BYOzXBo

Lent et douloureux.
Slow and sorrowful.

"Oblique et coupant l'ombre un torrent éclatant; Ruisselait en flots d'or sur la dalle polie; Où les atomes d'ambre au feu se miroitant; Mêlaient leur sarabande à la gymnopédie."

"Slanting and shadow-cutting a flickering eddy
Trickled in gusts of gold to the shiny flagstone
Where the atoms of amber in the fire mirroring themselves
Mingled their sarabande to the gymnopaedia"

- Contamine de Latour

The instrument is a Clavia Nord Stage 2 using a sampled Yamaha C7 with a generous amount of reverb and phaser, and a thin layer of strings.
