Rock Music
from the Cumbrian hills

Ruskin Rocks: the sound of nature - the nature of sound
The world-famous percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie is taking part in a new
project which introduces children to geology by constructing and playing
‘musical rocks’.
The University of Leeds has been awarded nearly £200,000 by Natural England,
through DEFRA's Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund, to create a 21st century
percussion instrument using rocks found throughout Cumbria.
The musical rock instrument will be available to be played by visitors of all
ages after its launch in August 2010.

NEWS
Liz McGowan and Jane Frost would like to invite you to take
part in walking conversations at Happisburgh on the North Norfolk Coast. As part
of the exhibition Abrasion at the King of Hearts, Norwich
Why is conversation so different when you are on a walk with someone? What
changes when you talk about a place that you are actually experiencing with all
of your senses? What happens if you broaden your idea of conversation to include
conversation with the landscape as well as conversation about the landscape?
Salt Trails walks will take place at Happisburgh during the weekend of June
19th/20th
