Oud Taksim on: The Rose Apple Tree

from Tomchess & The Lovedogs​-​In The Beautiful Future by Tomchess

/

about

The plant is native to Southeast Asia but is naturalized in India, especially the state of Kerala. It has also been introduced across the Americas where it now grows in wild thickets. Specimens have been planted on nearly every continent.

The tree has long, glossy green leaves and white or greenish flowers. There are several varieties, including the one most common in Thailand bearing a pale green fruit, and Malaysian varieties with red skin. It is often some shade of dull yellow. The skin is thin and waxy, and the hollow core contains a small amount of inedible fluff. The flesh is crisp and watery, and tastes like a cross between nashi and bell pepper, with a very mild rose scent and a slightly bitter aftertaste. In South-East Asian countries, the fruit is frequently served with spiced sugar.

The Buddha is said to have sat under a rose apple tree to meditate when he was a child.

This Oud Taksim was for me an inner alchemy of numerous musical incarnations resulting in an angular stillness, blunted tones and sudden harmonics. it's a question seeking an answer it already is. Its my favorite one on the Album.
