‘Eastern Strings & Things Vol 2’ is an amazing collection of loops and one-shots created by unique instruments that are hybrid in nature and not found in a regular music store or in samples. You will be shocked by over 300 loops and 35 single samples on four authentic oriental instruments, as shown below.
Content:
The Sitouki is a hybrid instrument which is halfway between a sitar and a bouzouki. It sounds like a sitar but allows for different techniques that are simply not possible on a sitar. The sitar is a hugely popular instrument which features in many compositions and these particular loops from the Sitouki will give you the edge.
The SazOud fuses the sound of two Turkish instruments into one, with the nylon fretless oud and the steel understrung saz drones. When striking the nylon strings, the saz strings are struck in sympathy by the nylon strings, which creates a extraordinarily unique sound.
The Tampoura is a bass drone instrument and the Swarmandal is a form of Indian harp, both of which were popularised in the ’60s primarily through music of The Beatles. The Tampoura features heavily on ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’ and the Swarmandal is a prime feature in the song ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’.
Following on from volume one, ‘Eastern Strings & Things Vol 2’ delivers more eastern promise than you can possibly imagine. At tempos from 80-140 BPM, this pack is ideal for Hip Hop, Cinematic, House, Techno and Downtempo genres amongst others.
