Subtitled, 'Phantasmagoria,' 'Ottoman Odyssey,' is an arrangement derived from an earlier production comprised of a haunting motif that availed itself to mystery and ethnic interpretation. The 'world music fusion' that resulted from the additional production incorporates instrumentation from the Arabian Peninsula that includes: Dumbek, Oud, Turkish Ney, Doudouk and sundry ethnic percussion with drums, bass, electric guitar, cello and viola sections.
All Instruments: Leland Thomas Faegre; Engineered by Leland Thomas Faegre at On Top Of a Cloud, Lake Tahoe; Engineered and Original Mastering by Patrick Collins at Collinator Studios

This composition was penned late in 2004 at the suggestion of Danney Alkana of 'Bonanza Music.' An industry listing had beckoned for music to CSI [a program I have never seen] and I had absolutely nothing to contribute. Over the next couple of days I arranged a track that was not picked up but nonetheless might have future potential. I took the track into Patrick Collins at 'Collinator Studios' where we 'finished' the basic tracks. And there it sat until July of 2008, when I reconsidered the original arrangement in my new studio, 'On Top Of a Cloud' in Lake Tahoe.
