Continental Drift: World Music Loops & Samples is an exclusive Premium Collection title featuring African, Asian, Arabic, Celtic, East Indian, Gypsy, and Native American sounds. A rainbow of music—essential percussion and stringed instruments, unusual and hard-to-find instruments, and a large selection of inspired vocal performances—are offered here in a flexible package well-suited to a variety of applications. Far from being a watered-down presentation of ‘westernized’ world music with a ‘new age’ feel, Continental Drift was specifically designed to bridge the sonic and aesthetic gaps between authentic field recordings and the rarified air of the formal recording studio environment, while upholding the ideals of great loop library design—isolation of the instruments, integrity on every track, and a level of organization that inspires producers to keep coming back for more. Meticulously tracked and processed through vintage and modern vintage front end gear, the resulting avalanche of 24-bit sound was painstakingly edited by Paul Vnuk before being tweaked and assembled by James Johnson and Leo Cavallo—three sample library producers with an intimate knowledge of what it takes to make a great title hang together just right. We invite you to utilize Continental Drift as primary royalty-free source material for crafting traditional-sounding music, as well as a resource base for augmenting popular music genres and hybrid forms. In every case, these sounds will flow with ease into your projects and help make them uniquely your own.
