Nope! Not at all and, according to Google, the word "Târ" means string and the word "Se" means three in Persian and for this reason "Setâr" means a stringed instrument with three strings. I hold my hands up and admit I'd never heard of them before and thought 'Setar' was 'Sitar' spelt wrong. I hold my hands up and admit I'd never heard of. This is the quintessential sound of the Middle East. Pair a simple drum beat with a Ney loop and you'll instantly transport your listeners to a souk. The wind instrument heard within the demo is the Ney, a flute which is popular throughout all regions of the Middle East.
The figure-of-8 shaped sound bowl on this instrument gives it a resonance like no other. The Iranian Tar is a close cousin of the Setar but has a fuller presence due to its three drone strings. The drone string on the Setar adds an almost hypnotic quality to the sounds produced by this traditional instrument from the lute family. The Setar is a stringed instrument used in Folk and Classical music throughout Iran. The Producer Loops team recorded these unique instruments on location in the Middle East, capturing every nuance of each instrument and utilising the talents of three incredibly skilled traditional musicians. Use the Adlibs to add a touch of mystique to your tracks or embrace the Middle Eastern sound by deploying one of the looped riffs into your production. World music instruments have been used to amazing effect in mainstream Pop tracks by the likes of Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Major Lazer, Justin Timberlake & Shakira.
