a time for all seasons

Around the Pines Calyx garden are numerous flint rocks, some of which seem to hint at a possible previous use as stone age tools.  In Neolithic times, flint was an extremely useful material as it was able to be fashioned into a variety of tools, such as knives, axes and hammers.  Within the garden’s seasonality that affects the planting and the caring of the different plants, these rocks point to a much longer division of time, that in fact even predates the agricultural age.

With the gardener’s permission I have take some of these rocks away and cleaned them up for use in the sound installation I create for the garden. My plan is to use them as musical tools, enabling the playing of the sounds of my resulting composition.
