Atsiã - West African Dancing Drums CD-ROM     $229.95
From the spiritual beat of Africa comes a sample library unlike any other. Atsiã includes African percussion instruments traditional to the Ewe Tribe of Ghana. The Ewe tribe is located in the Southeastern section of Ghana in the Volta region. Originally the songs and dances of the tribe were performed before war, but in modern times mostly for rituals and dance. "Atsiã", meaning "style" or "to display", is a social dance considered by most to be one of the oldest styles of dance and music in West Africa. It is a collection of songs and dances created by the Ewes, used in rituals and recreation for hundreds of years.
 
 This unique, incredible collection was recorded at the legendary Blue Jay Studios through an SSL console. Stereo samples, natural ambience, heavily multi sampled with up to 4 velocity samples for each different type of hit. Also includes looped grooves of individual instruments, in both 4/4 and 6/8 time. Over 400 meg of samples! Instruments include:

Noise Pollution - Alternative Percussion Sets – Download  $21.95
Performing artist groups such as Stomp and Blue Man Group have made a career by making music out of virtually any object. This art form blends sounds and pure creative energy into insanely moving rhythm. For this truly alternative percussion set, we walked six local percussionists into a commercial garage and gave them each a location and a set of objects (shovels, sledge hammers, trash cans, ladders, buckets, pipes, etc). As our percussionists banged and experimented with these objects, we experimented with stereo recording techniques to capture this event as naturally and pristinely as possible. The result is a multi-velocity, truly reactive, explosive and addictive tool. Bang on this!
