is one of my biggest distributors in the U.S. and are constantly
updating their website to provide the latest and greatest from the
sampling world. Recently the site has taken a whole new overhaul and if
I might say a step in the right direction. The website is a lot easier
to navigate and the the layout has improved 10 fold. I think the Google
bots really like it because within a week of the new look Big Fish was
already a PR5.<br /><br />As most of you already know the days of waiting
on a sample CD in the mail (though still some of like having that hard
copy) are soon going to be history with the digital age taking over and
BFA is already in place to provide producers and musicians with instant
access to some of the hottest samples available.<br /><br />Big Fish will
still offer the original sample CD packs as well as downloadable
versions so they will definitely have the best of both worlds until the
CD eventually becomes an inadequate item.<br /><br />You will find all of <a href="http://www.bigfishaudio.com/4DCGI/catalog.html?1;16;1:::::511972:::D511972::Page=1;Bran=550">Discovery's sample CDs</a>
available on the Big Fish website and soon available for download as
well. So what are you waiting for? Get on over and check out the latest
and greatest from BFA. You'll be glad you did.

world ethnic sample cds and this time the ad is huge. Now our samples
can be downloaded directly from the Loopmasters website. (The days of
waiting 2 weeks for the mail to arrive before you can start producing
are over!!!)<br /><br />Loopmasters gives new meaning to the word
"distributor". They are always providing the best services and returns
for all of their partners/labels. In short they don't beat around the
bush. This is probably the main reason why they are so far ahead of the
competition. Their reputation is inspecable and they are the leaders of
the sampling industry.<br /><br />Loopmasters doesn't play around when it
comes to promotion for their artitsts. They are and will probably still
be 20 years down the road, the best friend (next to your dog) you can
have.

		<br />
			</div><br /><div align="left"><br /><b>What do we get?</b><br /><br />We get 1 data CD absolutely jammed with a total of 387 Rex2 and Acid/Wav samples.<br />1 audio CD that 339 also includes a .zip file with 73 folders for multisampling, and<br />another with some very impressive Lei Qin (a Chinese stringed instrument) sound<br />effects.<br /><br /><b>The Meat and Potatoes of the matter.......</b><br /><br />Discovery became legendary whern they released this collection onto the market in 1999.<br />It caused a huge stir, and with good reason too. The quality of the recordings, and the<br />sheer amount of samples in this library made it a hard one to ignore for people looking<br />for a range of authentic sounding Chinese.....um......flavors (did that last bit make sense?).<br /><br /><b>Percussion</b><br /><br />The Percussion folder contains 21 loops, and 78 one shot phrases and samples. The<br />loops section may not be that large, but the quality is great, and provide a fantastic<br />example of eastern rhythms. The One Shot Phrases and samples folder is just as<br />enormous in content as it is in diversity. To travel phonically into a nightmarish world<br />of Chinese suspense thriller movies, you have to check out the "yun luo" samples.<br />My favourite.<br /><br /><b>Stringed Instruments</b><br /><br />I love stringed instruments. All of them. Whenever I hear of a friend or family member<br />going to some exotic location or other i always give them some money and say "Hey,<br />bring me back some wierd lookin' instruments......". Invariably they almost always get<br />nabbed at customs for having animal skin echo chambers, or lower mongolian longhaired-<br />elk tail strings. What a waste. Of the instrument. Not the elk. But i digress......<br />The loops are where this collection shines. The string folder contains 101 loops, and 36<br />One shot samples and phrases. There are many types of authentic chinese stringed<br />instruments here. They are...<br /><br /><b>Bowed</b><br /><br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Ban Hu<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Er Hu<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Gao Hu<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Jing Hu<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Ma Tou Qin<br /><br /><b>Plucked</b><br /><br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Pi Pa<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * San Xian<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Yang Qin<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Zheng<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Zhui Qin<br /><br />Many of these instruments were familiar to my ears when i first heard them, and until<br />now my mind had put them into the "Eastern String Sound" catagory. Not hard to hear<br />the subtle differences now that i can listen to them closely. It's a bit like my sister<br />listening to an acoustic steel stringed guitar, and a classical nylon stringed guitar.<br />She can tell the difference, but only if i am playing it in front of her ;-)<br /><br /><b>Vocals</b><br /><br />The vocals folder contains 18 loops and 74 one shot phrases and samples. From<br />beautiful, whispered dialogue to all out comedy gold, there is a lot of content here for<br />the vocal sample digger. A fair chunk of the samples here are from chinese theatre, with<br />funny voices and sound effects. The only drawback i can see is that it didn't come with a text<br />&nbsp;file that translated the samples into english. I would love to know what they are saying,<br />as this might have been one more thing that would make me use it. I do like finding samples<br />that say something profound. It's even better when they are in another language, because<br />it gives it an air of mystery. Oh well. They do sound great as is.<br /><br /><b>Wind Instruments</b><br /><br />The wind instruments folder contains 58 Loops, but only 1 one shot. I fear that this may<br />have been a folder packing oversight, as i can't see the point of putting just 1 sample in there. However, The loop folder has more than enough to keep me interested. There are eight types<br />of Chinese wind instruments showcased.<br /><br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Da Guan<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Da Suo Na<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Di Zi<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Qu Di<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Sheng<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Xiao Guan<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Xiao Suo Na<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Xiao<br /><br />The samples range from happy uptempo phrases, to more melancholic "Yes Grasshopper"<br />sounding phrases, usually depending on the sound of the particular instrument. Rich, full<br />recordings. A warning that you shouldn't have the stereo up too loud when browsing these<br />samples, as the frequencies some of the reedier sounding instruments hit could make your<br />ears bleed. In a good way, ofcourse.<br /><br /><b>Extras</b><br /><br />The CD contains two zip files of bonus material. The Lei Quin effects mimick the noises<br />of farm animals with astoundingly good results. This kind of playing is usually heard in<br />traditional chinese puppet theatre as an accompaniment to the action on stage. There<br />is an extra 273mb of samples. These are set out in 73 folders for multisampling. But wait,<br />that's not all. Did you say Steak Knives??? Well, we don't have any of those, but, there is<br />a great range of atmospherics included in the audio CD. These were recorded in market<br />places, street corners, apartments, restaurants, and even some straight from local TV.<br />All in stereo.<br /><br /><b>Conclusion:</b><br /><br />Discovery deserves all of the praise that was heaped in wads upon it when this collection<br />was first released. When i got this, there was so much good usable stuff that i hardly new<br />where to start. Admittedly, in my opinion, this sample pack seems more suited to movie<br />and theatre scores, but anyone looking for traditional sounds would find it irreplaceable.<br />Never have i heard such a fantastic slice of life from one culture. Except maybe the Alma<br />Flamenco Release, but even that didn't have the diversity that this does. Butch give this a<br />well deserved RF award. Well done discovery ;-)<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div><img alt="rfaward.gif" src="http://www.discoverysound.com/blog/en/rfaward.gif" class="mt-image-left" style="margin: 0pt 20px 20px 0pt; float: left;" width="90" height="64" /></div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>]]>

In 2009 composer Steven Odden created an original masterpiece, "<a href="http://cdbaby.com/cd/stevenodden">Poems of the Moon, Sky, and Sea</a>" using the sounds and music from Discovery's <a href="http://www.discoverysound.com/en/DFSD720/">KOTO sample DVD</a>.&nbsp; Some may wonder what can be created using sample software and this review is one fine example.<br /><p>Here is what Steve Odden has to say about KOTO  sample cd software.</p>"When
I thought up Poems of the Moon, Sky, and Sea I was reading Tale of the
Genji and looking at the art work of Amano Yoshitaka. <br />
It was The art work in Tale of the Genji by Amano Yoshitaka that
influenced me to create all the tracks for the cd and create the story.
<br />
Poems of the Moon, Sky, and Sea is a love story about the Moon, Sky,
and Sea. Each track tells a story through music with sampled
instruments. <br />
The sounds and instrumnets are all part of the telling of this story. <br />
I was able to create this CD because of the high quality samples on the
KOTO sample CD. The main instruments Shakuhachi and Koto in sound
totally authentic and give a very real performance. <br />
My love of Inuyasha and Princess Mononoke turned me on to older styles
of Japanese music. I consider the traditional Japanese music to be very
impressionistic, like the paintings of that time. <br />
I have always wanted to compose some sort of Japanese fairytale soundtrack;  finally I was able to because of KOTO!"<br /><br />

        <![CDATA[<p>Review of Discovery's "8 Bit Family" by <a href="http://www.laymansreviews.com/review.php?id=91">Laymansreviews.com</a>.</p><b><font style="font-size: 1.5625em;">Add some retro crunch to your productions with Discovery's classic sample collection</font></b><div id="imgload"><img src="http://www.laymansreviews.com/assets/lr_91-samplecd_generic.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" height="202" width="377" /></div>	<br />
	Considering the amount of work synth and plugin developers put into<br /><p>
producing powerful, dynamic new sound rendering engines capable of all<br />
manner of vibrant, pristine tones, it seems a little odd that we then<br />
put so much effort into making them sound... well... a bit rubbish. If<br />
we're not crushing bits or downsampling, we're layering all manner of<br />
distortion and saturation effects in a bid to dirty things up a little.</p><p>This is particularly prevalent in current electro and house music, with the<br />
latest crop of uber-hip producers just as likely to break out a SID<br />
emulator as anything else in a bid to give their tracks that extra<br />
chip-sound crunch.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, sometimes emulation doesn't quite<br />
cut it. In which case you're left with the option of reaching for the<br />
old Gameboy and a soldering iron, or investing in a sample CD such as<br />
those in Discovery Sound's <em>8-bit Family</em> range. Volume one was<br />
originally released in 2003, but the sounds contained in this (now very<br />
reasonably priced) collection are arguably more relevant today than<br />
they were six years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>The library consists of a broadcollection of sound loops, effects and sequences culled from original video game sources for the last word in authenticity.&nbsp;</p><p>The 8-bit chipsets may have been restricted to little more than basic triangular<br />
and rectangular waveforms and a noise generator, but the sound<br />
designers of the day saw this more as a challenge than a limitation,<br />
fashioning a distinctive and familiar palette of drums, bass, leads and<br />
warbling "chords", all of which are present and correct in Discovery's<br />
collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>The CD contains the expected selection of ACID wav<br />
and REX2 files, with EXS24 and HALion maps provided for good measure,<br />
while the breakdown of sounds available is comprehensive:</p>Arpeggios: 31 files<br />Bass-loop: 11 files<br />Construction-kit: 38 types/186 files<br />Drum-loops: 31 files<br />Drum-hit: 32 files<br />Misc.loop: 43 files<br />Soundeffects: 37 files<br />EXS24/HALion: 27 programs/216 samples <br /><b><br /><font style="font-size: 1.5625em;">Summary<br /></font></b>It's hard to find any real fault with the 8Bit Family sample CD, as this is<br /><p>
one of those products that does pretty much exactly as it promises on<br />
the tin. The samples are plentiful and well-captured, including chunky<br />
grooves, bleeping beats and some satisfyingly crunchy construction kits<br />
for building your own chip-tastic rhythm tracks. Loops are cleanly<br />
structured and neatly chopped. </p><p>The CD layout is logical and consistent with many other sample CD libraries, although we'd have appreciated slightly more descriptive naming of files to help in<br />
finding the right sound when scanning through. And of course, the very<br />
nature of sample CDs mean they're inherently limited in their variety<br />
and flexibility.</p><p>Minor quibbles aside, this is a well-considered<br />
collection of chipset sounds, and at the current price, well worth<br />
considering as an addition to the arsenal of anyone looking to add that<br />
touch of retro authenticity to their productions.</p><p><a href="http://www.laymansreviews.com/"><img alt="laymen4star.png" src="http://www.discoverysound.com/blog/en/laymen4star.png" class="mt-image-left" style="margin: 0pt 20px 20px 0pt; float: left;" height="110" width="188" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.laymansreviews.com/"><img alt="laymen4star.png" src="http://www.discoverysound.com/blog/en/laymen4star.png" class="mt-image-left" style="margin: 0pt 20px 20px 0pt; float: left;" height="110" width="188" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.laymansreviews.com/images/laymans_swing.png"><br /></a></p><br /><br />

        <![CDATA[Well, 2 cities down (Yubari &amp; Eniwa) 178 Cities to go.&nbsp; Junco and Cheep are on their way to something big.&nbsp; I was surprised at the turn out in Eniwa and have the feeling the crowds are just going to get bigger as the word spreads.<br /><br />The really good think about seeing the live concert now is that it feels a little more personal and you actually get the chance to meet the artists, shake their hand, get an autograph, etc..etc.., but once the major debut comes and the demand is bigger than the supply everything changes.&nbsp; Prices go up, you may ever see the artists beyond the stage.<br /><br />The tour goods are now available and what a selection to choose from.&nbsp; I am telling you if you are a band/group follower then you know that first tours are the most valuable after the "big break" (especially with an autograph).&nbsp; Well Junco and Cheep are signing posters like crazy, 100% pure signature.&nbsp; You know what happens from there on out.&nbsp; Just copies of a signature not worth anything except a nice little memorabilia.<br /><br />Though the order sight is in Japanese it is pretty easy to figure out.&nbsp; If for some reason you cannot figure out the Japanese then just shoot me an email and I will help you process the order.&nbsp; (stephen at discoveryfirm.com)<br /><br />Without further adieu here is a short English description of items and the prices.

It was like killing two birds with one stone(I don't kill birds) lol.<br /><br />Same
Old Story: A Trip Back 20 Years was the film I showed at the festival.
Though the film only showed once in the 4 days of the festival, Junco
and Cheep performed live every night of the festival. I really good
start for the rest of the tour going through 2009 and 2010.<br /><br />This
is a different kind of live tour than the ones you might be thinking
of. The northern island of Japan, Hokkaido has 180 towns inside its
vast area of land mass. Most of the towns are really small, but when
you are doing live shows in small towns there is one thing that spreads
quickly.<br /><br />Rumors.<br /><br />The Japanese call it uwasa, but for Japanese musicians it is the best thing next to hot Sake.<br />The next towns in line for the show is Eniwa, and Otaru.  This is only the start, bu<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j1ltiiC-SvE/SbtAyvodOLI/AAAAAAAAAPE/WfprgNdotoc/s1600-h/JCA4Flyer.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 226px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j1ltiiC-SvE/SbtAyvodOLI/AAAAAAAAAPE/WfprgNdotoc/s320/JCA4Flyer.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312911425937422514" border="0" /></a>t I really get the feeling they are going to take off with in the latter part of 2009.<br /><br />Junco has been getting a lot of views from both Japanese and Westerners a like on <a href="http://www.myspace.com/musicjunco">her MySpace</a>
page. I have yet to update the info on her page, but as the tour starts
to pick up you will be able to her more of her music there as well.<br /><br />Cheep
is...well Cheep is Cheep. He still has his die hard followers and some
of the younger generations are starting to take to him. His <a href="http://www.myspace.com/cheephiroishi">MySpace</a> is not as trendy as Junco's, but nonetheless still getting decent hits.<br /><br />Both musicians write a blog (in Japanese) which can be read on the <a href="http://www.discoverymusic.jp/">Discovery Music homepage.</a><br />If
you are into different kinds of music from around the world then I can
tell you now you are going to enjoy the music of Junco and Cheep. Keep
you updated when I can.

<br />I
just went to Yubari the other day to help film a promotional video of
Cheep Hiroishi and Junco's new song that will debut at the Yubari
International Fantastic Film Festival in February 2009. While I was
there I got a chance to take a lot of photos of the town which I wanted
to share with my blog readers.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j1ltiiC-SvE/SYFZyGg3cII/AAAAAAAAANs/aN2kODAqvYg/s1600-h/SBSH0030.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 465px; height: 347px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j1ltiiC-SvE/SYFZyGg3cII/AAAAAAAAANs/aN2kODAqvYg/s320/SBSH0030.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296613354041208962" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j1ltiiC-SvE/SYFZdHBOQbI/AAAAAAAAANk/gu3QhmSpJcc/s1600-h/SBSH0029.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 465px; height: 343px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j1ltiiC-SvE/SYFZdHBOQbI/AAAAAAAAANk/gu3QhmSpJcc/s320/SBSH0029.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296612993399669170" border="0" /></a><br /><br />

<br />
<br /><br />I
was suprised to see all the movie advertisments from the old days still
displaying on billboards almost anywhere you look. I couldn't walk 20
feet without seeing some sort of movie display. Back in those days the
ads were huge. There was not ink-jet printer so they were hand painted
and put up everywhere from small coffee shops and hotels to government
offices and schools.<br /><br />I guess back in the day it was the movie
festival to be at. The movie craze took a brief break due tolack of
funding and the town's own finacial and political issues, but it seems
to have bounce back. And just in time too.<br /><br />My film along with
about sixty others will be showing over a period of one week between
February 26th to March 3rd. I am assuming it is going to be pretty big.
I will definitely give more updates on the festival as I know about
them and a good review of the festival after it is over.<br /><br />The
town is still filled really great people who are almost all movie
fanatics. It really like walking into a completely new world. I<br />forgot that I was in Japan.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j1ltiiC-SvE/SYFaP2zeY_I/AAAAAAAAAN0/v1t5qM4JpaQ/s1600-h/SBSH0028.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 458px; height: 342px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j1ltiiC-SvE/SYFaP2zeY_I/AAAAAAAAAN0/v1t5qM4JpaQ/s320/SBSH0028.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296613865220367346" border="0" /></a><br /><br />

        <![CDATA[Winner: Best International Music Documentary was the award won by
Discovery Firm, Inc. for its film Same Old Story: A Trip Back 20 Years
at the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival.&nbsp; <br /><br />It
was already an official win, but since we couldn't make the award
ceremonies, the festival had to mail us our certificate which I just
received the other day.&nbsp; So anyway here it is.&nbsp; <br /><br />More than some "big win" it is something to keep as a memory of our accomplishment.<br /><img alt="NYIIF&amp;VF2008 BIMD.jpg" src="http://www.discoverysound.com/blog/en/NYIIF%26VF2008%20BIMD.jpg" class="mt-image-none" width="426" height="550" /><br /> <div><br /></div><div><br /></div> ]]>
