INANGA INST

Drehen Inanga Instrument aus Burundi und Ruanda in ein Virtual Instrument

I grew up listening to music made by traditional instruments. It is always interest how a handmade instrument can produce such beautiful sounds. As a final project for my Bachelor degree of Art, I am turning a very traditional and piece of art instrument called INANGA into a Virtual Instrument(VST) allowing people to play such beautiful instrument on their computers and mobile devices. You will find Inaga in most East African countries especially Burundi and Rwanda. My main goal is to create Virtual Instruments of traditional instruments so they can be used in Electronic Music. Sounds from traditional instruments are not being used often in most music produced today . It's mostly because most musicians and producers are into Electronic Music yet most of these instruments do not have Virtual Instruments to represent them. I hope to make it available as a Fruity Loop Studio(FL Studio) VST plug-in in the future. Adviser: Dr. Nathan Wolek
