EGYPT QANUN 2

We are proud to present our latest release, Egypt Qanun 2, offering an even richer and more intricate collection of traditional and modern qanun melodies, showcasing the versatility and depth of the instrument.

The qanun, a revered stringed instrument with roots in the ancient Egyptian harp, is known for its distinctive and captivating sound. The name qanun comes from the Arabic word meaning 'rule', 'principle' or 'mode'. This remarkable instrument has a trapezoidal wooden body with 81 strings arranged in groups of three, including 24 treble strings. The qanun is played by plucking the strings with plectra attached to the forefingers, producing a unique and resonant tone carried by a long bridge resting on goat or fish skin windows.

Each melody in this pack has been meticulously crafted to highlight the instrument's ability to produce microtonal changes and rapid modulations, offering unparalleled expressiveness. Whether placed flat on the musician's knees or a small table, the qanun's rich sonic palette is perfect for accompanying a variety of instruments in a wide range of genres.

In detail, expect to find 735 MB of raw content featuring 131 beautifully played qanun loops at 90/110/130 BPM. Both dry and wet versions of each file have been provided, giving you a total of 262 files. All loops are key and tempo-labelled for ease of use.

Egypt Qanun 2 is ideal for cinematic music, traditional and organic folk, experimental sounds, film scores, ambient music, meditation tracks, live lounge performances, electronica, hip-hop, and more. The only limit is your imagination!
