Preserving Traditional Nepali Instruments into VST Plugins: The Sound of Sarangi

The project “Preserving Traditional Nepali Instruments into VST Plugins: The Sound of Sarangi” focuses on preserving and promoting Nepal’s cultural heritage by developing Virtual Studio Technology (VST) plugins for the Sarangi using the JUCE framework. This initiative captures the Sarangi’s unique sound, making it widely accessible.
Key objectives include fostering cultural appreciation, bridging traditional and modern music, and promoting global musicianship by integrating the Sarangi into modern music production. Target audiences include musicians, audio engineers, researchers, educators, and those interested in Nepali culture.
The methodology involves quality sample gathering, plugin development, and thorough testing to ensure authenticity and usability. This effort not only preserves an endangered musical culture but also modernizes it, bringing Nepali music to international platforms.
The project aims to digitally preserve and promote the Sarangi, ensuring global accessibility and safeguarding Nepal’s rich musical heritage.
