Around the World in 80 Sounds
Exotic, archaic, and largely undiscovered: while many of the exotic woodwind instruments in this collection like the Chinese Hulusi, the Turkish Zurna or the Armenian Duduk are not that well known in the public eye, they certainly are in the ears of millions of audience members. Composers like Hans Zimmer have created iconic scores by using the fresh timbres and foreign sound colors of exotic woodwinds in conjunction with conventional classical orchestration or electronic elements. If you need sounds so new that they pique the curiosity of your listeners and still blend well with more conventional orchestral instruments, then this is your musical passport.
This post does not include Synchron Zurna.
