Amazing Thailand offers a varied cross-section of instruments – percussion, string and wind – together with male and female vocals and a selection of ambient sounds such as streets, airports, cafes and even Royal palaces. The tuning of some of the acoustic instruments may seem slightly chaotic to Western ears and you could use various pitch correction techniques to address this, but you’d almost certainly lose something of the essential character of the instruments if you did. It’s far better to create the kind of music into which sounds from this fascinating collection would comfortably fit. That’s what real crossover music is about.
