Stone has been the canvas of storytelling since humans developed visual language, but could we change perspective and instead listen to the stone? What shared stories can we listen to through the sounds of stones?

With the instrumentation of Swedish and Scottish sandstone, and live-painting with sand and water, Swedish composer and sound artist Alexandra Nilsson together with Scottish visual artist Jenny Soep, will explore this question in their new audiovisual work – Stone Drawings.

Alexandra Nilsson has been exploring the sonic qualities of different types of stones for some years with her project FOSSIL. Together with visual artist Jenny Soep who has specialised in drawing music, they meet in their ongoing audiovisual project Shapes of Sounds.
