This past summer, We Play Well Together's Creative Community Director Joule L'Adara traveled to Germany to work directly with our instrument builder the feeltone Company, helping to create a series of videos for our new Elemental Soundscapes instrument collections.

Read on to learn more about her adventure.

Alessandro Pierini, a friend and artistic partner of WE PLAY WELL TOGETHER, embarked on a journey to the Middle East, bringing the Monolina monochord to the deserts of Jordan for a series of stunning video shoots. These cinematic pieces, designed to highlight the Monolina's versatility for feeltone, were set against the backdrop of Jordan's expansive landscapes, with Ale tuning the Monolina to an Arabic scale to capture the region's musical essence. The versatility of the Monolina is showcased, highlighting its ability to be tuned to any 5-note scale, encouraging listeners to explore new musical territories.

In "Breathe Me," Alessandro performs atop a sacred valley, combining Arabic melodies with the desert's tranquility, a feat achieved with climbing gear and drone cinematography. The "Sands of Serenity" video features him on a sand dune, blending the Monolina's tones with the vivid orange sands of the Jordan-Saudi border. The series concludes with "Healing Vortex," set in the "Star Wars" Valley, where Ale's meditative music echoes the film's iconic landscapes, drawing praise from feeltone's Ingo Boehme for capturing the essence of solitude and connection to nature.

 

Let's start the day with a soothing Monolina Meditation. Join Chelsea Caroline for an 11-minute ASMR journey, exploring the serene sounds of the Monolina D tuned to 432 Hz.

The monochord, including our 34-string Monolina and 21-string Monilini models from feeltone, showcases its versatility and the wide range of creative expressions it enables. Despite its simplicity, the instrument offers a mesmerizing experience, especially when its dreamy drones are combined with hypnotic rhythms and melody accent notes, as Chelsea beautifully demonstrates.

Dive into this tranquil session with Chelsea, who not only introduces us to the Monolina Monochord's rich harmonic possibilities but also immerses us in a rhythmic exploration. Whether you choose to watch the visual journey or simply close your eyes and listen, this video is a perfect way to gently awaken and find peace.
