EASTWEST announces the European debut of Quantum Leap Voices of Passion, a virtual instrument of female vocalists from Wales, Syria, India, Bulgaria and America. EASTWEST will exhibit Voices of Passion at Musikmesse, March 28-31 (Hall 5.1, Booth #A71).

"Songwriters and film, TV and game composers as well as New Age artists will be amazed at the ethereal, passionate, flowing, mysterious, wailing and whispering alto and soprano voices featured on Voices of Passion," states Quantum Leap producer Nick Phoenix.
