Loire
From the banks of the river Seine to the sidewalk cafés of Paris, Loire gives you a unique combination of instruments for instant scene-setting. With a musette accordion, a tuba, and a selection of chalumeau, Loire is romantic, evocative, and eccentric in the best possible way.
The chalumeau, which has never been sampled before, is a baroque forerunner of today's clarinet. Its soft sound here immediately evokes a French je ne sais quoi, but it’s equally at home with melodies of the Middle Ages, and those of the Middle East.
The detailed accordion can evoke a European old town or a Tom Waits-ian Louisiana backstreet. And wherever the journey takes you, the tuba provides a solid foundation for your travels.
Wes Anderson-style soundtrack, virtual Parisian street band, pirate drinking songs: Loire offers all of this and more. See where it takes you…
