In the immense spaces that surround us there are sounds that we are rarely able to perceive In all cultures stone and sound equals percussion. What we hear, however, is not the sound of the stone but of the blow that strikes it. What I do is bring out the sound of the stones just by touching them. Many insist that the stone is mute, rigid and soulless, while I try to understand what technology allows me to bring out its memory and its voice". Pinuccio Sciola, founder of the Giardino Sonoro di San Sperate. In the garden there are about 700 sculptures, both sound and aesthetic, in basalt, granite and trachyte. #art #stoneinstrument #sculpture #contemporaryart #fyp
