Description: sound art with the natural environment
This short film by Merrie Snell shows some of the setting up of Stefan’s “tree-guitar” and Bennett’s “river-violins”, but mostly focuses on the river itself, and its interactions with guitars and violins. The river is the Devil’s Water – though its name has nothing to do with The Prince of Darkness, probably being derived from the same root as Douglas Water in Scotland, at least according to wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil%27s_Water . It’s a tributary stream of the River Tyne between Corbridge
Here’s the link to the film on vimeo. All of the sounds were recorded live by Bennett with river-violins and Stefan with his tree-guitar, both of which can be seen in action near the beginning of the film.
