| Flutist Marie Saintonge Endorses Barcus-Berry! Barcus-Berry, a manufacturer of transducer/preamp systems and acoustic-electric violins, is happy to announce flutist, composer and producer Marie Saintonge as the newest endorser of the Barcus-Berry 6100 Flute Electret Mic! After proudly declaring support and sponsorship of Barcus-Berry, Marie Saintonge remarked, "The Barcus- Berry 6100 Flute Electret Mic gives me the precision I've been searching for in a flute microphone for a very long time. Everything I play becomes so much more organic. This microphone is dynamite! I can experiment more with dynamics and hear all the subtleties, like harmonics, even in a live context. My playing now has more punch because the Barcus-Berry 6100 offers such an excellent response. I would recommend this microphone to any flute player, in any context." Marie Saintonge is a world music flutist, composer and producer. She can be heard in various groups and contexts: Brazilian, African, Arabic, jazz, classical, pop, hip-hop, lounge and traditional folk music, as well as all Latin and Caribbean styles. She has just released her second album, entitled Hawazone, which is a reflection of her musical and personal values combined. Hawazone's concept is creating a musical space in which experimentation with sound and exploration of elements of all cultures and traditions is accepted and celebrated. Saintonge is continually increasing her knowledge of world flutes and has already mastered the bansuri, ney, penny whistle, and occarinas in addition to the standard and alto silver flutes. Recipient of the Quebec Arts Council and St-Hyacinthe (her native town) grants, she has studied with internationally renowned flutist Pedro Eustache, a specialist in world flutes and based in Los Angeles. A believer in the manifestation of one's creative visions, Saintonge aspires to tour the globe, share her ideas, and promote her Hawazone concept. Barcus-Berry is a quality manufacturer of acoustic-electric violins and inventor of the first piezo transducer preamp system for guitars, pianos, brass and woodwind orchestral instruments, harmonicas, drums, tap floors and more. Since 1963, Barcus-Berry products have been delivering true reproduction of acoustic sound. Barcus-Berry is used and endorsed by professional musicians, bands and dancers such as Herbie Hancock, Rascal Flatts, Louise Mandrell, The Corrs, Pat Green Band, Clay Walker Band, Tracy Bonham and Broadway performer, Savion Glover. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Jazz News :: home page |
