The title is taken from the earliest Byzantine musical notation. Echi, meaning sounds, was used to describe rhythms and dromi, meaning ways was, used for melodic figures. The rhythms on the dumbek were developed by using an extreme working out of traditional concepts and applied motion with the western use of strict metric modulations. The flute is given a certain amount of improvisatory freedom of melodic patterns with occasional fragments of strict rhythmic unisons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis piece was recorded in October 2011 on the album \"Introductions\" by Electrum Duo featuring Sophia Anastasia and Ralph Sorrentino.","brand":"Bachovich Music Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43798418620470,"sku":"0899","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/pereira-echi-dromi-2s-dumbek-fl.jpg?v=1783440529"},{"product_id":"josh-gottry-jonny-woodbury-outside-the-box","title":"Gottry\/Woodbury-Outside the Box-Cajon","description":"\u003ci\u003eOutside the Box\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of four progressive solos and one duet for cajon by Josh Gottry and Jonny Woodbury.

In 2012, Gabor Palotas (H) and Matthew Andreini (USA) percussion performers set up a project entitled creating new music for percussions with the aim to help the birth and promotion of new duos.

Flamenco is a generic term which refers to the music and dance styles spread by Gypsy people in Andalusia. Its oldest form is the song to which instrumental accompaniment and dance can be attached. Astor Piazzolla's music is influenced primarily by the Argentinean folk music: the tango, though creating the musical genre called new tango he used jazz and elements of the Italian opera as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe compositions consist of three main sections. The first one is a fast 12\/8 meter material, based on simple rhythmic elements on the cajon, tambourine and by slapping. After this short introduction one of the players switches to the vibraphone, while the other keeps on playing the cajon maintaining the energetic tone. Later the marimba joins the vibraphone changing the mood of the piece softer and calmer. The middle part is slow and calm, where the tone becomes melancholic and dreamy by the improvisation-like melody above the ostinato accompaniment. In the third section the melodical material from the first part returns, though here the marimba accompanies instead of the cajon.","brand":"Edition Svitzer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43804603318326,"sku":"MARJANMUSICALPIC","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/marjan-musical-pictures-sp-v-m-p.jpg?v=1783515882"},{"product_id":"duo-77-sheronick","title":"Sheronick Duo 77 (SP)-2 Frame drs. or other perc.","description":"Duo 77 by Yousif Sheronick is a percussion duo that can be played by two frame drummers, as originally written, or the players can be free to choose their instruments.
