A Performance of Experimental Archeology by the Stone Carving Oraclestra
Audience members are invited to consult the Stone Carving Oraclestra for individualized stone carved readings and channeled phonemes.
Performed as an act of experimental archeology, the Stone Carving Oraclestra will channel sounds through contact with specially selected boulders, and, at the same time, carve the sounds directly into stone. Audience members may choose to have a personalized “reading” by the Oraclestra. This piece demonstrates a spontaneous burgeoning of sound with human action onto geological matter.
