GOING TO KOREA

I am going to Korea tomorrow to promote Discovery's sample CD collection and meet some musicians about recording a new sample CD with Ethnic Korean sounds and music. I have been getting a bunch of requests lately for traditional Korean sounds and have not had the chance to give a specific date, but I can tell you it is in the near future.

Part 2 of the trip will be talking about promoting recording artists from Korea over here in Japan. The relations between Japan and Korea have been getting better and better when you think that less than eight years ago Japanese culture wasn't allowed in Korea. What better time than now to increase relations even more.

Lastly, I am also going to promote the Japanese music Documentary "Same Old Story" (Korean Version) with hopes that it will show at the PIFAN in 2009 along with the EBS documentary film festival.

Of course all work and no play is not fun, so I will be taking lots of pictures and post updates when I get back to Japan. Talk to you all then.

Another Music Sampling Powerhouse

When you sign up for an account on Facebook anything can happen so it appears. I was contacted by Zenhiser asking to added as a friend, but was surprised when I took a look at the site and seen it was another sound sampling sight filled with loops, samplers, one-shots, and more. Since I also run a similar site I thought why not spread the word.

Zenhiser has a massive library of sounds that can be downloaded for royalty free use in your own productions. The site itself is very well done with a clean and easy too use interface layout. You will find just about anything you are looking for. If you are a fellow producer like myself, then can also do a link exchange with Zenhiser to get your site a little more PR. You can find the link at the bottom of the site. It is really simple. Just link to Zenhiser and they link back to you.

All in all I give the site a big two thumbs up for design, quality, and originality.
