Last summer, 17-year-ld Li Mei frm Chengdu stepped ff the plane in Paris, carrying her belved erhu - a traditinal Chinese tw-stringed instrument that was passed dwn frm her grandmther. As part f a yuth cultural exchange prgram, she had dreamed f this mment fr years, yet the weight f representing her heritage in a freign land left her palms sweaty. Little did she knw that this trip wuld spark an extrardinary musical creatin.
During a wrkshp at a lcal art schl, Li met Pierre, a French vilinist wh was fascinated by her instrument’s attractive sund. “It’s like the vice f ancient China,” he remarked with excitement, gently plucking (拨) the erhu’s strings. Inspired by each ther’s music, they decided t mix the sulful meldies f the erhu with the dynamic range f the vilin fr a perfrmance at the upcming Bastille Day celebratin.
As they practiced in a sunlit studi verlking the Seine, Li taught Pierre hw t imitate raindrps with quick bw mvements n the erhu, while Pierre shwed her hw t weave Western harmnies int the Chinese flk tune “Jasmine Flwer.” The integratin created a charming sundscape that neither had imagined pssible. On the perfrmance night, their piece “Silk Rad Eches” received thunderus applause. The audience were amazed at hw the erhu’s sad tnes danced with the vilin’s vigrus meldies (旋律).
What began as a summer experiment blssmed int lasting friendship and smething far greater. Tday, Li and Pierre c-teach virtual music classes, cnnecting students in Chengdu and Lyn thrugh weekly “glbal jam sessins.” Their students cperate n pieces that mix erhu with guitar r Peking pera with jazz. Li ften tells her pupils, “Music has n brders; it’s a language that turns differences int harmnies.” When traditins meet with pen hearts, they dn’t cnflict, they cmpse smething entirely new.

The sunds f rain, birdsng, r the wind rustling leaves in the frest are all part f the music f nature. These sunds can fire emtins and prmte calm. That’s why tracks f nature have been used in s many sngs like “Blackbird” by the Beatles.
Nw, Sunds Right, an initiative frm the Museum fr the United Natins is cperating with Sptify and ther streaming platfrms t recgnize nature as a musician. This means that nature can be paid ryalties (版税) that can be made use f when it cmes t envirnmental causes and cnservatin. This new initiative allws artists wh use envirnmental sunds t credit “Nature” as a featured artist and share the ryalties.
“It’s a way f saying t artists, We all use sunds like seagulls, waves and wind. Why dn’t we pay nature a ryalty?” said Brian En, wh remixed his cllabratin Get Real with David Bwie. “Hpefully, it’ll be a river, r a trrent, r a fld f ryalties — and then what we d is distribute that amng grups f peple wh are wrking n prjects t help us deal with the future.”
Other artists wh cntributed sngs fr the prject include Tm Walker and Ellie Gulding, MO, and alternative music star Aurra wh is releasing a new sng, “A Sul With N King”, that includes the sunds f a frest in her native Nrway. “I feel like music that has the ability t make cntact with nature seem appealing again,” she said, “because, smewhere deep inside ur sul, we are really yearning fr it.”
While there has been a lng debate n whether streaming cntributes t harmful emissins, giving nature credit and ryalties can turn streaming t the right side f climate actin. This prject is just ne f a grwing mvement t give nature legal rights and culd restre the weak relatinship between humans and the envirnment.
