Proudly presenting to you: "72 Strings & I" - the first solo Santur instrumental EP album by inspiritana, where the ancient elegance of the Persian Santoor meets contemporary musical exploration, resonating with listeners around the globe.

Subtitled “Tales on the Persian Santoor”, the EP features nine solo instrumental tracks with a total playtime of 24 minutes, inviting listeners on a meditative journey through the mesmerizing sounds of the Santur. Each piece is designed to evoke deep emotions and inspire a sense of tranquility, making it the perfect addition to your collection of healing music.

The Persian Santoor and its ancient tradition

The Persian Santoor, with its rich history and its 72 strings, belongs to the instrument groups of (hammered) dulcimers. The English word “dulcimer” originates from the Latin “dulcis” (sweet) and the Greek word “melos” (song) and already points towards the delicate and ethereal sound that is being evoked by hitting the strings with softened wooden mallets.

The Santoor, or Santur, has been an important cornerstone of classical Iranian music for centuries – and still today resembles the essence of Persian culture. In "72 Strings & I," however, Cale Alit (inspiritana) reimagines this beautiful instrument for contemporary ears, creating a soundscape that feels both refreshingly new and familiar to listeners from all over the world.

A New Perspective on the Santur

What sets this album apart is inspiritana’s unique approach to the Santoor. By tuning the Persian instrument to a Western music scale and incorporating his own melodic-rhythmic style, the Santoor's traditional sound is transformed into a continuous melodic tapestry that transcends cultural boundaries.

The meditative and harmonious flow of the songs in “72 Strings & I” is offering a serene backdrop for contemplation and healing, making the album a great choice for anyone seeking meditation music or instrumental music that promotes relaxation and inspiration.

Tales on the Persian Santoor - The Journey

Each track brings it own quality and story while still connecting to a greater, harmonious picture of the EP album itself, allowing listeners to immerse themselves in the ethereal beauty of the Santur. The melodies are designed to be both soothing and inspiring, with some tracks having a more melancholic and contemplative characters and others being more uplifting and motivating.

Healing Music in Solfeggio Frequencies

"72 Strings & I" is more than just an album; it is an invitation to connect with the healing power of music. While the instrument was tuned to concert tuning during the recording process, we managed to infuse the sound with certain healing frequencies in the production of the EP. We have “calibrated” the frequencies to 111 Hz, 432 Hz, 963 Hz & 1074 Hz (aligning with the so-called "Solfeggio Frequencies"). You don’t need to understand this, but you will just feel it in the music being more harmonious and holistic in its sound.

THE GOLD EDITION – 1 Hour of Santoor Meditation Music Extra

You can’t get enough of the magic of the Santur? Then treat yourself with the special “72 Strings & I - GOLD EDITION” featuring six more tracks of nine to twelve minutes each – long continuous music journeys inviting you to dive deep into the healing sounds of the Persian Santoor played by Cale Alit.

Oppose to the tracks on the main EP of “72 Strings & I”, the songs of this collection are telling long, subtle stories and take the time explore a certain theme in-depth, providing the perfect music for meditation practice, yoga sessions or other mindful and relaxing activities.

For this purpose, the Santur was also tuned to A=432 Hz or 444 Hz (C=528 Hz) in some of the songs, aligning with the healing Solfeggio frequencies. Furthermore, we have then aligned the sound with further Solfeggio frequencies in the process of audio-production, as explained above.

Please note that these recordings were taken out in nature and there are a few minor natural sounds in the recording - oppose to a studio recording, these sessions hence carry the spirit of nature directly.

On my YouTube channel, some of these songs have been enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of people around the globe. With this collection, you get the whole set of the six best recordings of 2024, adding up to about 60 minutes of pure playtime of mesmerizing Persian Santur healing music.

I sincerely wish you a beautiful and healing time with the music. May it serve you well on your process of life and love. May it bring you peace, trust and inspiration.

Thank you for listening.

Thank you for being.

Thank you.

Your’s faithfully,

Cale Alit
