A new album featuring MG3

Yesterday I released and launched KORAGUI, the first album of a kora and guitar duo I’m part of. Leaving the kora aside, and while normal electric and acoustic-nylon guitar sounds are part of it, all else was done using MG3 using various virtual instruments—for the strings, cello, duduk, and two synth-patch of Diva, one that doubles the electric at times, and one to make a solo for a small bridge in one of the album’s 3 tracks.

Here’s the Bandcamp link to it. Enjoy—and thanks a bunch MG…

@David_Marshall Thanks David, and glad to hear about the production.

While I also did the recording and mixing for my first 2 albums, I had them mastered by a mastering engineer. But for that last one, I did it myself—testing it in every possible setting speaker-wise—and I’m happy with the result. I wouldn’t master a full electric band mix that has a lot of low-end, but for more acoustic oriented productions I now feel confident that I can do it.

Very good. I like sound and production. MG3 it’s really a new horizon. Lately I am composing less music than in the past. I hope your great example will trigger a ‘click’ in my musical brain. Thanks for posting! A true example about how far you can go thanks to MG3. Beautiful music for the soul and spirit.

@pasha Glad you enjoyed it. And yes, MG clearly opens up new horizons.

As for “I hope your great example will trigger a ‘click’ in my musical brain”, that would be great. For all I know, the world would be in a better place if everyone played a musical instrument.

Wow! :heart_eyes:

Really really beautiful! :pray:

I almost daily listen to Takashi Kokubo from when walking my dog to reading and sleeping… :sweat_smile:
(nature ambient music)

But I can see this album being played very often instead! :+1:

Too busy moving and whatnot so I haven’t even had the time to try my electro-acoustic Kora with MG3 properly yet:

:wink:

@Yadrichik_Chaya Happy you enjoy it. This is also “nature ambient music”. :slightly_smiling_face:

Interesting kora. Where is it from ? And I’d be curious to know how it tracks with MG3.

Of course! :wink: But Takashi Kokubo also has the sounds of birds, the ocean etc. deeply embedded in the tracks. Same same but different vibe. :smiling_face:

Here you go:

Yeah, I understood that.

Interesting design those travel koras. I’ll send the link to my friend—who happens to build his own koras.
