The Skiddaw Stones are probably the most unusual and certainly the 
oldest instrument that Soniccouture has sampled.

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

Created by Joseph Richardson, a stonemason and musician, it took almost 
thirteen years to collect and shape enough individual notes of hornfels 
to make an eight-octave range. The stones were taken from Skiddaw, one 
of the highest mountains in Cumbria. The massive task of assembling 
this instrument consumed Joseph so absolutely that he and his family 
were reduced to poverty. Once complete, Richardson and his sons toured 
Europe as The Rock, Bell and Steel Band, and even performed at 
Buckingham Palace, by command of Queen Victoria. 

The Stones currently reside at the Keswick Museum, who very kindly 
agreed to let us take them off-site, to a studio for the recording. 
As the stones are insured for ?50 000, this was no casual undertaking. 
Every stone was carefully wrapped and packed in custom made flight-cases 
for transportation. Once at the studio, 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.
