"Marcel Barsotti's EW6 is a wonderful collection of ethnic vocals and instruments. It is as inspirational as it is impressive in its scope and user friendly design."

Keyboardist "Dream Theatre"
"With Marcel Barsotti’s EW6 I was immediately inspired. As my hands touched the keyboard, ideas flourished and music flew from my fingertips. Beautifully sampled and incredibly deep. Exploring the collection is like a crash course in Ethno Musicology."
Johannes Kobilke
German Film Composer
