    Breathtaking Videos of the Monolina on Expedition in Jordan

    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.

    How the MonChair by feeltone plays well with other instruments in C#

    In March, coinciding with the Spring Equinox, Susan Maule, a seasoned practitioner and friend of WE PLAY WELL TOGETHER, led the Monochord Monday Meetup.

    She showcased the MonChair by feeltone, integrating it with instruments like the C# Hokema Sansula, Crystal Singing Bowls, and a Native American-style flute to create harmonious soundscapes. Susan demonstrated the MonChair's use in group settings, allowing participants to experience the enveloping sounds while seated in the chair, surrounded by others in a ceremonial rotation. She combined the MonChair's vibrations with the Zaphir "Sunray" Chime in C#, a C# tuned Sansula, and other selected instruments, offering a layered auditory experience.

    This session exemplified the collaborative spirit of "We Play Well Together," highlighting the possibility of custom tunings for kalimbas and Sansulas to harmonize with existing instruments. Susan's broad expertise in the healing arts, alongside her unique approach to sound therapy, enriches the Monochord Monday Meetup community. Her contributions, along with over 60 other videos, are accessible in the group's video library for those who join the Monochord Monday Group on Zoom.
