Voices of the Aztecs Sample Library Released for GigaSampler
 February 5, 2003
Voices of the Aztecs is a full compilation of Aztec instruments, loops, and
vocals. These samples were recorded in Mexico from archeological artifacts
dating back as far as 800 years ago. With their language forgotten, their
customs were transformed and their music was banned. But the instruments
survived.
The Aztec culture has become one of the most enigmatic and mysterious of
ancient civilizations. Now, the first time ever delivered to the public, Q
Up Arts announced The Voices of the Aztecs instrument and
sample library. This library is a window into the hearts of this ancient
culture.
The library is categorized by elements: The Thunder, The Seed, The Wind, The
River, The Heartbeat, The Song, The Word. From the big Huehuetl drum to
the smallest of Ocarinas, all of the sounds are unique. Water drums and
wooden percussion, clay flutes and incredible sound of the seashell horn all
remind us of a distant culture that disappeared 400 years ago. Voices of the
Aztecs also includes Nahuatl poems recited by Santos de la Cruz, a poet of
Aztec descent. The booklet included offers a cultural history of the Aztecs.
MSRP Gigasampler CD-ROM: $199usd.
