8Dio Instant Steel String Guitar: "Technical Demo"

"The Origins of Rhythm"
by Paolo Pietropaolo, 2011

Anytime I take the bus these days I notice the unsynchronized wobble of nodding heads, the arrhythmic patter of tapping feet: an outward indication that many of my fellow passengers are locked into private worlds, captive to personal soundtracks.

It’s curious that we so often listen to music as a way to block out the world, since many scientists now believe that music evolved as a way to bring humans together and to help societies function harmoniously. In The Origins of Music, biologist Walter J. Freeman makes the case that “music together with dance have co-evolved biologically and culturally to serve as a technology of social bonding.”

In some cultures, there are no separate words for “dance” and “music”. They are one and the same. That’s always rung true to me, even when swaying and otherwise reacting with my body to classical music, in overbearing concert halls, while feeling the disapproving stares of my neighbours.

I recently produced a series of documentaries about Indian music called The Subcontinental. One of the things that struck me was how much Indian music ties itself to the body with its rhythms. And dance is a big part of Indian music, from folk music like bhangra to the great classical dance traditions like Bharatnatyam, to the modern Bollywood stage.

I’ve long loved Indian music, and one of the reasons is because it always reminds me how much music is of our bodies as well as our minds.

In seeking to understand the origins of music, scientists like Freeman are analyzing the activities of our brains as we sing, dance, play or listen. (Their fascinating search inspired another documentary series called The Nerve.)

But there are other stories, old stories about the origins of music - perhaps none older than the Hindu story of the dances of Shiva and Parvati.

In this sonic exploration of the origins of rhythm, the great tabla master Ustad Zakir Hussain tells that story.

I think of this piece as a “scored story”, somewhere between traditional audio storytelling, and a musical composition with lyrics. In addition to Ustad Hussain, you’ll hear the voices of filmmaker Deepa Mehta and Bollywood choreographer Shiamak Davar. As well, you’ll hear the sounds of Bollywood movie dance rehearsals led by Shiamak, and the sounds of the very first college-level Bhangra dance course offered in North America, underway right now at Vancouver’s Simon Fraser University and taught by Raakhi Sinha.

Taking these words and sounds, and adding others they suggest, I’ve attempted to celebrate the importance of dance - and its implication of people moving together - to the origins of music. 

-Paolo Pietropaolo

Lots To Do

This Love (Higher)

/verse/
there's a feeling that I get 
when you're close to me

and it's more than attraction
it's more than chemistry

in your eyes I can see
every possibility

you are the answer to
and the source of every mystery

/chorus/
and I can see this love is like a flame
that is burning 
brighter than desire
girl you take me higher

this love is like a flame 
that is burning
one eternal fire
love will take us higher

no one else above this
nothing else could touch this
brighter than desire
girl you take me

no one else above this
nothing else could touch this
one eternal fire
love will take us higher

/verse/
when I'm locked inside my cage
you hold the key

you subdue my mind
and you set my spirit free

in your eyes I can see
every possibility

you are the ending
and the beginning 
of all I seek

JKriv - Something Special

Anthology Strings is a deep-sampled music software instrument from 8Dio Productions. 

More information: https://8dio.com/instrument/anthology-vst-au-aax-samples-kontakt-instrument/

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Anthology Strings was crafted by Academy Award, TEC and G.A.N.G Award Winning Composer and Producer, Troels Folmann and Emmy-Nominated Composer and Orchestrator, Colin O’Malley. Anthology is the true reimagination of our original Adagio and Agitato String collections – hand-designed with our favorite 66.500 samples from both collections.

Anthology contains both Ensemble, Divisi and Solo String sections for both Violin(s), Viola(s), Cello(s) and Basse(s). All recorded exclusively with grand Neumann microphones – inside a rare church recording environment. The three sensible microphone positions (Close, Mixed, Far) offers you full mastery over the sound. We developed custom techniques for the close microphones – allowing them to record much closer and intimate than your common church scoring environments. No samples overwhelmed in reverb. Instead a touching and passionate collection of strings. All designed to capture your most beautiful thoughts.

The beating heart of Anthology Strings is its playability, emotion and ease-of-use. A compendium of all principal articulations needed for advanced orchestration – and equally built for fast and expressive string writing. The custom smart browser offers you access to everything. A single click gives access to all articulations. A few clicks and you’ve designed your personal matrix of articulations.

Anthology Strings is symmetry. All String Sections have identical articulations and that goes for all Ensemble, Divisi and Solo Strings in the library. But most importantly Anthology is for you. The composer. The producer. The orchestrator. The person that wants the most expressive virtual strings ever created within a fingers touch.

The person that want complete playability, effortless expression and true emotion in the sound. This library is for you and only you.
