Original Instrumental Music - MP3 Donationware
We make entertaining MP3 recordings by producing new percussion based arrangements of selected classical pieces that emphasize the counterpoint, bringing fresh colours from new world instruments in exciting ways for you to buy as MP3 music downloads. Our latest recordings feature a brand new combination of a Balinese Gamelan Orchestra with a variety of Marimbas. This exciting new combination works particularly well with a whole range of Ragtime music much of which was originally put into the public domain as MIDI format files by John Cowell in the early '90s. Short LowFi clips are available for each recording like this Maple Leaf Rag by Scott Joplin to be played by the Yahoo! music player.
Inspiration
Inspired by Emerson Lake and Palmer, Wendy Carlos and Evelyn Glennie amongst others - our percussion arrangements belong to a Feel Good Electronica musical genre - more than old wine in new bottles - they are original recordings which repay active listening. For example our new recordings of Beethoven's 3rd and 5th Symphonies show how new world instrumentation can shed new light on even the greatest classical creations - bringing them to life in fresh and exciting ways whilst remaining true to the original spirit.
Quality
We make digital recordings of these arrangements and then compress them in MP3 recordings. Everything for sale on this site has been sampled at 48k Hertz and encoded at 192k bits per second - slightly better than a CD. These files are suitable for use with all your MP3 Players including iPods, iPads or iPhones and can readily be added to your collection by means of the relevant software such as iTunes . The playable clips are LowFi extracts - why not download the free recordings to check out the HiFi results.
Legal MP3 Search Options
If our site does not offer the music you are looking for we can offer a novel MP3 search engine facility based on Google's new Co-op facility to develop a focused slice of Google's massive database. Collaborators for this venture would be most welcome.
