Today we take a musical journey to Southeast Asia exploring the instruments, scales and unique and inspiring sounds of this extraordinary part of the world. The sample library we’re looking at is called Sangara and it comes from Orchestral Tools as part of an ongoing partnership with composing legend Richard Harvey. But we're diving into the whole process of working with world instruments and how you integrate them into a modern cinematic score.
In this extended tutorial we will:
• Hear from Richard Harvey on the creation of this new library
• Have a quick tour of the library itself
• Discuss the pentatonic scales of South East Asia
• Write a piece of music using the library and some of the scales
