Music Stones, a new book by Mike Adcock.

Music Stones: The Rediscovery of Ringing Rock

Mike Adcock’s new book, Music Stones, is a fascinating account of the surprising and little-known ways in which stone has been used to create music.

Stone instruments, known as lithophones, are believed to date back to prehistoric times. Music Stones explores their more recent musical uses—from 18th-century sets in England to Vietnam’s ancient slabs, sound sculptures, and experimental compositions—revealing the enduring resonance of stone in music and art.

Terje Isungset is mentioned in this book and he was actually the one that first showed Mike Adcock that stones might be used as musical instruments in May 2000 during a UK tour.
