Music composer Barry Kirsch is taking the audio medium to new levels in the Middle East. BKP has launched the first Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) facility between Dubai and Beirut.
Dubai, UAE, May 30th, 2004 (Xtvworld)--The link enables - for the first time - real time digital voice recording of Arabic voice-over artists for commercials, documentaries and radio spots.Said Kirsch: ‘Many companies in Dubai have ISDN to Europe and the US. But no one so far has achieved a link between Dubai and another Middle Eastern country. We are very excited about the link. It means that we now have access to a whole new bank of voices for Dubai’s commercial needs.’
ISDN compresses and decompresses sound. Users can dial up a number and direct
voice-over artists in real time. Barry Kirsch Productions has established the
link in an exclusive deal with Beirut based company, Eddy Jazra Audio
Productions
‘Dubai has a good selection of voices for commercials. But we have, for a long
time now, needed to expand that base with the increased demand for more choice
of Arabic voice talents from clients. We now have that opportunity,’ added
Kirsch.
New voices will be added to the recently launched website at www.bkpmusic.com.
Clients will be able to audition voices from the increased audio bank or via CD
or MP3 from the BKP studios.
As a professional sound-design facility, BKP has considerable experience in
music composition for films, TV, sonic branding and commercials. Notably BKP
composed the sonic branding for Emirates, now a fully identifiable sound around
the world.
BKP offers three fully integrated 64 track facilities using industry standard
pro-tools systems. For synch to picture sessions, BKP use digitized video
enabling for fast spotting of sound effects and dialogue. The production house
also boasts a magic box, used by all the top Hollywood sound designers.
