BOOK LAUNCH EVENT
Mike Adcock’s new book, Music Stones, is a fascinating account of the surprising and little-known ways in which stone has been used to create music.
Stone instruments, known as lithophones, are believed to date back to prehistoric times. Music Stones explores their more recent musical uses—from 18th-century sets in England to Vietnam’s ancient slabs, sound sculptures, and experimental compositions—revealing the enduring resonance of stone in music and art.
Join us for a talk by the author and the opportunity to have your copy signed, plus light refreshments in the galleries and musical performances on Keswick Museum’s very own Musical Stones of Skiddaw!
More information about Mike’s book can be found at www.archaeopress.com/archaeopress/contributor/mike-adcock.
Copies will be available in the Museum shop at an exclusive reduced price.
