“SPECIAL INSTRUMENTS” Season One EPISODE ONE: Original aleatoric music by Melinda Rice and Carlos Santiago played on the violins that they have found, including a beloved violin from a friend’s high school years, an Irish instrument passed down for generations, a brand-new instrument by an amateur maker in PA, a tiny instrument, and the violinists’ own instruments.

THIS SERIES will EXPLORE THE notion that instruments carry the resonances of players/owners/makers from the instruments’ past lives and maybe contain some kind of imprint of their essential being; perhaps a soul?
