i love all things serendipitous : how friends playing chinese instruments team up with other videographer friends to send these talented artists to china, where i once lived for five months

4.06.2012




our friends are pretty super extraordinarily talented. 
i love that our musical friends, matteo, teamed up with some of our favorite
videographers over at tiger in a jar. this is a beautiful combination.

matteo is hoping to raise enough money to fund their chinese music education,
totally a worthy cause. check out more of their music and donate here.
"sweet sweeping joy" is one of my faves. honestly, how can you go wrong
with a violin, a guitar, with that ancient chinese string instrument that i don't know the name of?
it's soothing in a sort of way that carries your imagination off on a kind of western road trip
where you accidentally run into some kids who have actually succeeded in digging to china...
so you all jump in the tunnel and end up on the other side surrounded by a mountains and dumplings.
i absolutely adore this fusion of chinese instruments with western folk music.

and here's another coincidence...ceej is off for china tomorrow for a week.
these days it's all about china. seriously.

{p.s. that opening photo is in our friends' house in one of my favorite places...sheesh! this is meant to be!}
