Wow! I think Mark deserves a MacArthur Genius Grant like Edgar got both for the innovation and perseverance it must have taken both to build that instrument then learning to play Indian music on it. It didn't sound like he played Indian music on UB before having the vision to build the Banzatar, but rather built the instrument first then set about learning the music.
I loved his description of learning the intervals both from "listening" to music while sleeping and "intuitive dreamtime" but he also "did the math"... "collapsing it from the intellectual"
Especially the part about having a dream he did not remember, then playing the music when awake and the dream "downloading". Fascinating !
Playing western music on a plain old UB is hard enough for me, but that video was very inspirational and I'm glad there are people like Mark on this Earth. I have to go play it again !!!
