I don’t have any and I don’t think @wiaiwya.bsky.social does either, but there are a few on Discogs…

Been making a new album. This is the palette. More to follow…

Still, as a conceptual experimental piece, I like the idea…

Mark S. Williamson @spaceshipmark.bsky.social · 5d

I think the idea was to use varying degrees of metamorphosis around a volcanic plug or igneous intrusion. I agree, the speed of sound is a big issue and, if all the hammers are the same, the only difference is going to be timbral as opposed to pitch.

Ive never been able to verify that this actually happened. Has anyone heard of it?

I’m sure my A level geology teacher told me a story about a geologist/composer who set up a bunch of people at different outcrops on the side of a mountain with hammers then somehow signalled to them when to hit their respective rocks, thus using the whole mountain as an instrument.

I’d really love a few more subscribers to make me feel this stuff is worth it(not that I’m going to stop!). Thanks!

Apart from Newgrange, it barely mentioned the rest of the megalithic culture. Surely, there’s interest beyond important, fascinating and, also, bankable, Stonehenge?

Not that many people watch my films on YouTube but the recent one covering the Stonehenge bluestones is doing alright. This is nice, but also a shame because there there is so much beyond Stonehenge.
I watched an hour and half Ch4 doc about Stonehenge the other night.

Finally tackled the ‘S’ place, albeit indirectly. Undoubtedly, it’s all wrong but at least I admit it…

Made at sites of ancient stones, upon hillforts and in the depths of a fogou. Megalithic Moog is an album crafted using a 1974 Moog Prodigy and the land itself. Melodies from leylines, beats from boulders, songs from stones.

If eggs are shaped like eggs to stop them rolling out of nests there’s no need for the alien eggs to be egg shaped as they’re always just stood up like some Fabergé motherfuckers.
