Ok folks, I got a question.

I'm looking for music like the string sample that's used in the first Monome video, the one he's using when demoing the "mlr" application in the last half:

http://monome.org/media/monome40h.mov

I wanna know what I would have to look for...it's not classical (although I don't know much classical music, so I might be wrong), not really jazz...is there a genre for that? Or is it just special artists I need to find?

Any hints much appreciated.


Stilo.

Yea, it's a Quicktime movie. You can get the player from

Yes I know there's a lot of different music for strings, I'm looking for that special sound...sounds like coffeehouse music or sumthing :lol:

I was wondering since I saw that video, it sounds dope with the drums he's doing.

I read somewhere that it was a Henry Mancini sample, he's a composer that did alot of film and tv scores(in the 60's and 70's). So I guess it is kind of classical. The sample is probaly from one of his soundtracks.
