Soul of Strings - Jens Egert

SOUL OF STRINGS is a Studio Production dominated by two Instruments: the western Guitar and the Indian String Instrument Sarod, as shown on the cover photo. Although they speak different languages they complement each other through communicating with dialogs creating a specific mood of the tune with melodic movements. The contrast of the instruments become obvious by the harmonic, supporting structure of the Guitar and the melodic subltle melodies of the northindian Sarod or Sitar. The meeting of two music systems are melting with each other in order to flow into the Sound ocean of World Music. A symbol for the synthesis of WEST EAST Occident and Orient SOUL of STRINGS is a music with many colors which invites one to relax and inspire. It connects different worlds of sound. All music was composed by Jens Egert. The last 3 tracks are published for the first time.This Production is the first Publication of music from Jens Egert. Inspired during long study of Indian Music and travel in Asia. He creates new sounds with Sarod, Sitar, Guitar, Cora. Solita Cornelis is playing Solo Flute on track 10 on Barock Interplay

Mit seinen unverwechselbaren, komplexen südindischen Rhythmen garniert er das Menü aus Jazz, Funk, Rock und Ethnomusik, voll packender Melodien und Improvisationen. Eine Fusion verschiedener Kulturen, bei der es keine musikalischen Grenzen gibt.
