If you say you wouldn't want to try this...

If you say you wouldn't want to try this, I will not believe you. I'm sorry it's only in Italian, but that's not important: this guy is a sculptor from Sardinia (that's Sardegna) who creates these musical sculptures from different kinds of stones. The sound might be "liquid" for stones that were created from water, or like "fire" for volcanic stones etc, as - he explains - stones retain the memory of the matter they originated from and translate it into sound when caressed, as opposed to hit. Just listen:

Interesting. There used to be the Singing Stones somewhere in Wales, where the stones for Stonehenge came from. Something about the stone would produce musical notes. Unfortunately they were destroyed one or two centuries ago.

Accidentally or intentionally?

[Ian Haygreen]

Intentionally I think, although I can't remember rightly. They may have quarried them out.

Man's stupidity is appalling...

Fantastico!

Two things:

1. Someone needs to get this guy and Diego Stocco together.

2. Maybe these can be called "Limestruments"? :P

I didn't know Stocco, I'll have to explore his stuff Limestruments, that's nice :-D Whatever you call them, anyway, they really rock! ;-P (OK, this is real cheap, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought about it and someone had to say it...)

I'm afraid the only way is to come to Italy and contact the artist, I think that's the only place where you can find them :-/
