Heart of Africa 2: Loops and Phrases

Heart of Africa Volume Two features rare performances recorded live by Dan at a two week tribal competition in Kenya. Authentic choir and vocal shouts, chants and polyrhythmic percussion ensemble grooves from the Maasai, Kikuyu, Meru, Pokot, and Nandi peoples. A collection of powerfully primal and untamed tribal ensemble phrases and SFX that perfectly compliment the instruments and loops from Volume one. Presented in song construction format.

Samplebase.com is an internet site hosted by ILIO Entertainments (ILIO.com)

ILIO has created a free downloadable sampler called Satellite which uses instrument sounds and loops created specifically for it. Deep Sea Music creates content for this sampler. This content can be purchased at the Samplebase site (www.samplebase.com).

Instrument Sets are multi-sampled instrument sounds and/or loops that are played from the keyboard and combined to make music.

Construction Kits are entire pieces played by several instruments and cut into sections so that parts can be played independently and at different tempos or in different key signatures using Satellite technology.
