The Tarshi

from Farewell to Mount Fuji by Takla Makan

/

about

The titles to my tracks come mainly straight out my head the moment the first few bars are laid down. The computer needs to have each track saved as a name, and for this one I thought of a nonsense word as usual. Tarshi. If you do a Google search on the word 'Tarshi' you may find it amusing. That said I liked the word and it fitted well to a group of people I had in mind for a story I had wanted to write. Thus Tarshi became 'The Tarshi' for the CD release.

This track is huge and it was due to all the complexities in recording it that made me realise I needed to move away from the Atari. That I accidentally erased all the audio work on my old sampler for this track is another reason.

The vocals are mostly Rachel, but you can hear me during the bit with the tabla...
