Singing Stones by Pinuccio Sciola

[Cosmos]

Just came across some stone music on facebook and thought I'll share it here.

Quite interesting how musically resonant stones are. Some of the sounds remind me of those strange sounds that have been heard around the world recently.

The only video I could find with english subtitles is this one:

Excellent choice. Thanks Pashalis! People from previous civilizations come to mind, they knew the different qualities of the rocks to use them in a convenient way. Just as they emit sound waves, I also heard that they "record" sounds, you can hear sounds from other times...

Very nice. This reminds me of:

Session 8 December 1996

December 8, 1996 Frank, Laura, Terry, Jan, Alice Q: (L) Hello. A: Hello. Q: (L) Who do we have with us this evening? A: Honnorra. Q: (L) And where are you from? A: Cassiopaea. Q: (L) We've been discussing the crop circles, and would like to know if you have any input on that...

A: The spiral serves to translate message by slowing down the wave and focusing thought wave transference energy. Utilizes /transduces electromagnetic waves, the conduit, by breaking down signal from universal language of intent into language of phonetic profile. This is for multiple user necessity.

Q: (L) Multiple user necessity implies that a number of people must do the spiral. Is that correct?

A: No. Must hear and feel and understand precisely the same thing. The molecular structure of the rock, when properly sculpted sing to you.
