Early Aeolian Device


Today’s sound was recorded outside the Richard Hamilton Building during Max Eastley’s talk. It features Max demonstrating the sound of a very early Aeolian Device, people taking photos, some kind of maintenance vehicle traversing the car-park, traffic, birdsong, and Eastley articulating the idea that our first musical instruments were Aeolian devices, and may have been discovered through the creation and use of spears.
