一架追溯至1840年的石琴——斯基道石琴(The Skiddaw Stones),由61块经过调音和雕刻的石头组成,这些石头由稀有的角闪石(Hornfels)制成,产自英格兰坎布里亚。据说,角闪石的音色优于更常用的板岩,且余音更长。

使用了两种不同的槌子费力地捕捉了大量不同力度的敲击声,然后还额外录制了一种发音——木槌头刮擦石面发出的声音,这种声音出乎意料地幽怨且共鸣。

最终呈现的是一种真正迷人的乐器,其声音显得非常古老,甚至比实际年代更为古老。独一无二的石乐。

A Lithophone dating from 1840, The Skiddaw Stones are composed of 61 tuned and shaped rocks, made from rare hornfels stone, found in Cumbria, England. Hornfels is said to have a superior tone and longer ring than the more commonly used slate.

Two different sets of mallets were used to laboriously capture large sets of velocity hits, then an extra articulation was recorded – the sound of the head of the wooden mallet being scraped across the stone surface – a surprisingly haunting and resonant sound.

The result is a truly bewitching instrument, one that sounds truly ancient, even older than it is. Totally unique rock music.
