Sound of Mind IV_Locking Horns“Take copper, zinc, tin … add wind to taste“ – old Welsh recipe for a brass band

This musically inspired, fictitious story of rock’n’roll spans 70,000 years and starts when Homo sapiens and his music conquered the world. The playing involves time travel and uses real and invented instruments, plays all forms of music, remembered in dreams.

This is a friendly competition – after all musicians have always sparred with each other to see who can play fastest, who can hold a note the longest, who can complete a certain phrase. As part of the concert series, the band from Unity Too has blended this spirit of friendly competition into the fourth and final concert this season.

Part of the programme was composed specially for Sound of Mind and an exotic array of instruments – carnyx, glissotar, Tibetan horn, conch shell horn and alphorn.

The band will also improvise on the themes of “Organon”, with percussion and keyboards.
