STEVE VAI - New VaiTunes Track 'Amirah' Now Available
December 5, 2010, 13 years ago
Guitarist STEVE VAI's latest VaiTunes song, 'Amirah', is now available to download from all major digital music retailers, including: iTunes, Rhapsody, Napster, eMusic, Lala, IMVU, Shockhound, Amie Street, LimeWire Store and the Nokia Music Store as well as the corresponding digital booklet on the VaiTunes page.
Vai comments: “This track is unlike any other VaiTunes in that it is composed and recorded by Surinder Sandhu, a musician steeped in authentic cultural Indian music. The entire melodic structure and atmosphere this track sets up is quite genuine. As VaiTunes is a veritable potpourri of tracks from different projects, I thought it would be a nice change from what could be expected.
Surinder Sandhu is an extraordinary sarangi player. The sarangi is a bowed, short-necked string instrument of India. It sounds a bit like a sitar from a rougher neighborhood. Surinder has established himself as a highly proficient and respected composer and performer of this instrument. He put together a wonder exotic ensemble called THE SAURANG ORCHESTRA. Back in 2002 he approached me to contribute to some of his recordings. Amirah is one of the little jewels that resulted."
As previously reported, several of Vai's solo releases are now available as an extremely high 96khz/24bit audio download, taken directly from the masters, as well as FLAC and AIFF formats through HDTracks.com. All tracks are DRM-free and several Favored Nations Entertainment artists are featured on the HDTracks.com homepage.
