Sonora Mazuren

Onda Sonora is a production that aims to show how a group of passionate and committed young people can perform a mature and eclectic repertoire. They range from monumental classical pieces to more contemporary and popular music. When you listen, you can hardly tell the difference between the performances of these young musicians and those of professional orchestras.

The music of Camilo Méndez is a melting pot where a seeming gallimaufry of disparate influences coalesces into harmonious, cohesive works of monumental proportions. It draws inspiration from literature and the visual arts, from geography and philosophy, and from experiences lived on multiple continents. While Méndez’s soundworld has an unquestionable affinity with that of European composers like Helmut Lachenmann and his mentors Pierluigi Billone and Rebecca Saunders, the conceptual underpinning of his works is filled with allusions to composers, writers, and visual artists from his native Latin America, and with subtle references to his own professional pursuits and artistic collaborations in North America and Southeast Asia.

Sonora Cinematic Harmonic Bloom for the free Kontakt Player exploits the concept of the harmonic series to turn noise into unique and distinctive musical material that can be used in your compositions.

This album's big hit was the timeless "Cuestiones Del Amor" and is a near-perfect set of swinging and superbly performed "Salsa Dura" from this legendary band. Not quite as good as its predecessors "La Orquesta De Mi Tierra" and "New Heights" but still a classic of its time.

Sonora Cinematic is excited to present Porphyra Hybrid, an innovative Kontakt Player synthesizer created in collaboration with Ocean Swift Synthesis which combines a powerful wavetable engine with sampling capabilities, bringing precision control and rich sonic textures far beyond typical sample-wavetable hybrids. Porphyra Hybrid comprises a unique dual-layer engine that combines the power of a wavetable synthesizer on one layer and a sampler on the other. Theres also an abundance of modulation options, a vast array of sampled sounds and wavetables, plus the ability to import your own samples offering extensive sound exploration and manipulation capabilities that take advantage of Kontakt 8s new state of the art synthesis features and high-quality effects.

This is the 1971 soundtrack to the film Sacco E Vanzetti composed by Ennio Morricone. It also features four tracks featuring American folk singer Joan Baez, including the hit song "Here's To You". This is the 2005 remaster with a number of bonus tracks, released by GDM.

During the 1930s, a diverse group of travelers is forced to trek to Mexicali, encountering racism and unforeseeable threats in the desert.

I am thrilled to announce that August 2nd is the official release date for my debut album Return on Affetto Records! Pre-release CDs will be available at my solo performances this summer.
