Live sound performance for Palaeophonics inaugural concert
George Square Theatre, Edinburgh, Scotland.
Funded by The University of Edinburgh Campaign and The Arts and Heritage Research Council, UK
"Archaeological evidence for Palaeolithic rotational aerophones such as the bullroarer offers an opportunity to conceptually and experimentally explore modern concepts of prehistoric auditory experience. Used by a variety of past and present cultures the bullroarer is associated with wind, storms, lightning and long-distance communication. The film shows a simulated bullroarer performance recorded at a modern onshore wind-farm at Arthur, Ontario, Canada, and stills taken of onshore wind-farms in Picardy, France. The film and live performance highlight shifting attitudes of how noise is culturally defined in the past and present and questioning the use of the loaded terms "music" and "noise" as applied to past acoustic cultures" (Palaeophonics brochure 2011).
