Berklee Intersectional Soundbox Archive
The Berklee Intersectional Soundbox Archive (BISA) is a project dedicated to celebrating voices, compositions, stories, and sound-based expressions through recording sessions and workshops, highlighting a wide range of musical traditions and culture, especially of Indigenous roots.
In these REMIX collections, you will find the completed sample packs created as part of this project. There are currently five main collection areas to explore: Middle Eastern Percussion, Chinese Erhu, Persian Tar, and Peruvian Quena, along with a Native story (snippet) and Native Flute sounds by Tchin.
