down to that and the lithophone

maybe humanity's long tumultuous union with the earth
is like the passing of a freight train in the forest
steam! smoke!
the entire world fills with clanging noise and pistons
ground shaking
the cataclysmic destiny of the machine
and then

it's gone

It all began with a lithophone I built from discarded floor tiles, two stones, a large square cardboard box, seeds, thirty-three nails of different lengths driven into a wooden board, rods of every kind, drums, and cymbals

The other interesting thing is that this is quite unusual in specifying a particular instrument rather than a category. Eg a lithophone is any instrument that makes sound from stones. It can be like a xylophone or can be something completely different. Whereas some temple blocks are not a xylophone.

Make it a lithophone

Langridge tinting white - uses tio2 and baryite. It's a great mixer and I strongly prefer it to lithophone or standard titanium white.

Oh no, rotten luck!

Keswick Museum with its lithophone is ace, as is nearby Derwent pencil Museum. Hire boats to row on Derwent water (nice & quiet) or from other spots. Cinema at Ambleside. Blackwell Arts & Crafts house is glorious. Look up ‘wet weather activities’ to get lists of non walking?

I think next time I plein air paint I'll use a super muted palette so I can avoid neon mineral hell. I'm thinking lithophone white, red oxide, Prussian price, bismuth yellow, raw sienna and chromium oxide green.

Absolutely no one in the country is listening to r3 right now, and that’s ok. But please do experience the majesty of the Victorian lithophone craze www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Long before the Old Continent became known as Europe and before history of music began, musical instruments played a key role in creating a culture. This is a lithophone: rocks struck to produce musical notes. [📹 kingbeststonegranite]

From Fishy Business:

With the unsubtle pull of an electromagnet, the hammer in his grip drew him to the lithophone, set the pace of his rhythm. Fearing the penalty if he fought it, Aubrey could do no more than obey.

The #WIPSnips word for June 23rd is "penalty"

The words this week were absolutely not inspired by the fact that all that's been on our TV for the last week or so is the World Cup. Nope.

What is a lithophone? litho meaning stone and phone meaning voice. Prehistoric lithophones consist of a musical instrument using purposefully selected rocks . #lithophone
Portable and stationary versions have been utilized in ancient cultures around the globe. www.rockartmuseum.com/lithophones/...

Ushio Torikai, solo at Théatre Dunois, back in the late 70s.
Her lithophone piece still blows my mind.

Percussive idiophones, aka anything you hit with a hammer/mallet that vibrates to make a sound, except drums. But note that it can be comprised of 1 object (bell) or several (xylophone)

And if it's made of metal, it's a metallophone; stone, lithophone

14th century gargoyle who excitedly invites you to his lithophone performance because you said you like “rock music”

one reason why i shouldn't quit writing is because it's an excuse for me to go research stuff. yes, i'm gonna learn shape note singing and the guidonian hand. i'm gonna take riding lessons. gonna learn how to blow glass and maybe i'll add a lithophone to my instrument collection. as one does.
