Bela D Media Retro Flute Restores Flute To Its Fiery Nights Of Glory

June 16, 2008
Bela D Media Retro Flute

Just like Joel Gallen's 2001 masterpiece was Not Another Teen Movie, Bela D Media and company producer and composer Eduardo Tarilonte release Retro Flute which is "Not Another Flute Library." It aims to restore the classic sound of vintage flute before modern technology completely modernized -- "futurized," even -- the flute world. Retro Flute restores this through the latest recording and sampling technology.

While it suits cinematic, classical and jazz tracks perfectly fine, it is also very keyed into retro sounds used in progressive rock -- like Jethro Tull's "(Insert Jethro Tull Song Name)." All Tull references aside (though they do rock the flute like no other), Retro Flute is spiced up by the generation of sung style -- a technique that involves singing vocal lines through the flute.

  • Sustained Straight Tone & Vibrato

  • Various Staccato Options
  • Repetitions
