Rock Music

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
