Middle-Eastern strings

Submitted by D1visor t3_11c9xk4 in Music

Hi,

Not sure if the right sub but I'm looking for music featuring "middle-eastern violin-like strings".

Usually featured in some songs from Dzihan and Kamien as well as Gnossienne No. 1 (Buddha-bar remix). These drawn out seamless strings seemingly following a certain scale backed by some bassline.

I really like this stuff but idk how to find more.

Thanks.

Are you thinking of a tanpura? That's the drone string type sound found in a lot of Indian music.

That sounds like a pitch-shifted violin - I don't think it's specifically Middle Eastern.

Well, what is the style called then?

I don't think there's a specific name for it. But you could try r/ifyoulikeblank and see if they can come up with any suggestions.
