The unseen chatter and noise Knowledge and stories travelling silently along wires

Planning a radio programme over a pint, and realised my chosen tipple takes it’s name from one of Britain’s chalk figures. Good omens!

The Backrooms…

The Long Neolithic often appears as a series of kingdoms. Hundreds of menhir monarchs ruling their fields, territories of moor and downs. No passport is needed to enter their realms, though an attitude of respect and reverence is often advisable. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday

We cross the threshold of a stone circle and are engulfed by a sense of ongoing ritual. Engulfed by a sense of intimate lithic conversations, power dynamics unfolding across slow centuries. The Long Neolithic is palpable. The Long Neolithic is living. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday

If we take the stones as having become lithic transmitters of the past, we should not be surprised to find our own attempts at signal-catching sited so close to them. We have always been in the business of broadcasting and receiving messages. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday
