Sheet Music: Performance PartsPalynopholy / Fiona Hill.by Fiona Hill (2023)

Product details
This piece is inspired by a particular rock mass near my home in the Blue Mountains. This mass appears to describe the shape of Physeter macrocephalus, commonly known as a Sperm Whale. On first contemplation the link between the ocean and the rocks of the Blue Mountains seemed remote until I started researching further, discovering that in fact there are many ocean fossils in the rocks and sediments of the mountains, mostly in the form of acritarchs, organic-walled microfossils which can be single celled, a cluster of cells, filaments or carbonaceous remnants of animal body parts. This work is a contemplation on the 'study of dust' (palynology) and our deep and ancient connection with Mother Earth.
