In the December issue of OWL, we tell you about an Italian composer and pianist who took his grand piano to the Arctic Ocean for a concert like no other. Watch it here:
Welcome to Marble Mountain, a five-star resort where you can hang out on the ski jump, at the skate park, in a fantasy castle, on a roller coaster, at the golf course, and more… as long as you’re a half-inch marble.
That’s right. Californian Ben Tardif has spent the last three years creating this incredible activity course just for marbles. It’s made of 25 individual sections that fit together to make 32 possible paths for the little marbles to explore. And the coolest part? He made it all by himself, from materials he got at the craft or hardware store.
Check out the video below to see Marble Mountain in action:
What do you think, readers? Pretty amazing what you can do with a little creativity and persistence.
In the May issue, we told you about jazz piano sensation Joey Alexander. If you didn’t already see the 12 year-old perform at the Grammy’s earlier year (or you just want to watch him wow another crowd, because who wouldn’t?), check out this video of him in a performance from last year.
