Hey guys I was trying to create a sort of gypsy/Spanish kinda sounding thing (theres probably a proper style name for it by I don't know it). Have a listen and let me know any ideas or suggestions you might have for it :) cheers!

Hi, very nice piece.

I would say it's Mediterranean. There are many scales linked to the area. Some of them sound here (Phrygyan major?, F melodic minor). Although the scales make that music from different parts around the Mediterranean Sea sound similar, they're not the same.

Your work has a more Eastern sound than Spanish, although you use a prototypycal Spanish instrument: las castañuelas (castenets). It sounds a bit as a tango or, I would say, as an Habanera. In fact, it's a dance.

The most representative scale-mode in traditional Spanish music is the Phrygian Dominant, but there are others.

Anyway, it's very beautiful... I love it.
