New Middle-Eastern Instrument Collection from Sonic Implants
 February 21, 2002
Musicians will be able to add the mystery of the orient to their latest compositions with
the release of Sonic Implants' new CD, Silk Road, Middle Eastern Melodic & Percussion Instruments. The very name, Silk
Road, inspires visions of camel caravans traversing the 7,000-mile trading route between the west and the ancient orient, winding
through China, Central Asia, Northern India, Parthian and Roman Empires (the current countries of China, India, Iran, Iraq,
Persia & Syria). The popular trade route blended culture, music, art and religion for centuries.
The new Sonic Implants release, with samples performed by Middle Eastern musicians, captures the authentic melodic and
percussion instruments from the Middle East. "We've included extra help for users who are new to these sounds," said
Jennifer Hruska, President of Sonic Network, Inc. "There are nine pages of printed documentation explaining the history and
use of these instruments and the CD also includes Percussion Loops and Melodic Improvisations for composers to either use in
their pieces or help with the style." she added.
The Silk Road, Middle Eastern Instruments CD-ROM, priced at $249.95, is available in Gigasampler and Kurzweil formats
now and will be available as soundfonts in the next few weeks.
MP3 demos and more information are available at the Sonic Implants web site. For more information, visit their web site at www.sonicimplants.com. |
