Rock Music

Rock out with Verity Sharp and music made or inspired by rocks, stones and pebbles. From mineral techno and geological resonances to Welsh singing stones and Hawaiian pebbles.

There鈥檒l be traditional Hawaiian folk music performed with lava pebbles, as well as recordings of the magical singing stones of the Preseli mountains in Wales. There鈥檚 mineral techno from Bristol鈥檚 Copper Coims, experiments into geology as a sound source from Manchester sound artist Kelly Jayne Jones and some blues music reflecting on gravel.

Plus new releases from the likes of Zimbabwean guitarist Daniel Gonora and Brazilian composer Hermeto Pascoal.
