You think there exists at this point good examples of this?

Hey Eli, glad you asked.

About 3 years ago, I made a posting about a then new CD "Shema Yisrael - The 
Cantorial Project: Ethno Ambient".  Produced by Arik Rudick, who had a smash 
album "Sattala",in Israel in early 70s using various synthesizers.  

On the"Shema Israel' CD, he created new "electronic" music specifically for 
classic Cantorial recordings by Kwartin, Glantz, Kapov-Kagan, Rosenblatt, 
Chagy, etc.

Unlike recordings that sample cantorial records INTO new music, this music 
was composed specifically for the actual contorial recording.  A somewhat 
similar recording, "Covenant" was released about the same time, but I don't 
think it 
was nearly as good. It sounded las if the Cantorial was sampled INTO the 
music.

Though I thought "Shema Israel" was a good recording, it had no market at 
that time. About 6 months ago, one of the students at a local Yeshiva bought 
one 
for a party "sight" unheard, and now everybody in his class has purchased this 
disc....an overnight hit...after 3 years.
