01Overview

Ethnic Vocal Phrases is Sonuscore's vocal solo instrument built around recorded human voice performances. The phrases were sung by composer and singer Hayat Selim, who was commissioned to create themes for a wide range of movie genres. The library is designed for film and game composers who want emotional vocal lines in their soundtracks without writing lyrics or recording a singer. It runs inside Kontakt and uses the same interface as the Sonuscore Lyrical Series.

Vocal Language and Sound Character

The themes are sung in Classical Arabic (Fusha), alongside imaginary tribal languages influenced by African, Native American and Latin vocal traditions. The library also includes power vowel phrases and mixed voice vowel phrases with overblowing.

All themes are recorded in four different keys. With minimal pitch-shifting, the material can be played in any chromatic key, and the musical content stays consistent across keys.

Phrase Structure and Workflow

Each theme contains 15 phrases and 2 short endings, divided into starting, middle and end phrases. This structure lets you combine sections in the order your track needs.

The interface follows the Sonuscore Lyrical Series design, giving direct access to the essential controls while leaving deeper sound shaping available for those who want it.
