EXs 252 Kelfar Omega Kanun - Audio Demos in Stereo 48khz
---------------------------------------------------------------
Are you a musician looking for a way to enhance your musical performances like never before? Kelfar Technologies has got you covered with their latest expansion sound library - the EXs 252 Kelfar Omega Kanun. With approximately 1.27 GB of PCM samples, 1710 samples, 20 Multisamples Stereo, 40 Multisamples Mono, 64 Programs [U-FF/Q, U-F/R], 46 Combis [I-G/D,], and 27 WaveSequences [U-F/J], this library brings new kanun elements to your Kronos/Nautilus. The Omega Kanun offers a set of physically modeled and hybrid sampling sounds that will take your music to the next level.

The Kelfar Omega Kanun stands out with its unique acoustic feel, meticulously preserved through specialized deep sampling techniques and advanced microphone setups. Utilizing an innovative quad stereo micing technique developed by Sam Skaf, employing dual ORTF pairs, we've captured every nuance of the instrument, accentuating differences between left and right stereo fields and balancing the sound energy across low and high octaves, resulting in a four-dimensional perception through stereo signal. This comprehensive library leaves nothing out, encompassing everything from subtle noises to metallic latches, empowering you to craft your masterpiece using these sounds individually or in combination.

The EXs 252 includes both Anatolian (a.k.a Turkish Kanun) and Aleppian (a.k.a Arabic Kanun) kanuns. The kanun is an ancient instrument commonly performed across the Mediterranean region. Each region performs the kanun with the local micro-tonal tuning system. In general, the difference in the types of kanun for each region is slight. For example, the octave for the Allepian kanun starts from octave G2 (Sol2) to the highest note D6 (Re6), and the Anatolian kanun begins from octave A2 (La2) to the highest E5 (Mi5).

One of the most famous Levantine folk songs, A Rozana is a simple melody arranged for SATB. Bishr Issa cleverly uses theme and variation style to bring the text to life. Using Gibran Khalil Gibran’s poetry, humour, love and lightness are central to this arrangement.

A Rozana - SATB

نار وقصف والتحام

As Syrian rebels advanced on Damascus in a surprise lightning offensive, the Rojava Kurds seized territory from the Bashar Assad regime, and the Druze took up arms in their own region. After years of the lines in the conflict being frozen and the genocidal Assad dictatorship being "normalized," on Dec. 8 the unthinkable happened and the dictator fled. Suddenly the 13-year aim of the Syrian Revolution has been realized—the fall of the regime. But the lead rebel faction, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), has an ugly past, its partner the Syrian National Army (SNA) is in the political orbit of Turkish aspiring dictator Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and the threat of Arab-Kurdish ethnic war in northern Syria looms closer. Amid a conflict now dominated by armed actors, can the unarmed civil resistance that began the revolution 13 years ago re-assert itself, and revive the secular-democratic spirit of 2011? In Episode 255 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg takes a hard look.
