Fossils & Archaeology

A fossil's story drawn with code and played by your song, after the world's natural history museums: the mount's blueprint drawn bone by bone on the beat, a dig strung in its grid of squares and brushed down a square a beat, the rock's periods with their ages and fossils, a skeleton mounted in the great hall turning its head to the beat, the prep lab chipping the rock from a skull, and a wall of cases with an amphora put back together from its shards.

The Blueprint

A mount plan on a drafting sheet: the skeleton drawn bone by bone on the beat, the skull first and the limbs last, dimensioned and labelled with a scale bar and a title block; once drawn it walks on the sheet, and on the drop it strides.

Classic Studio

The Dig

The pit from above, strung in a grid of lettered squares: a square brushed down each beat until the skeleton lies bare in the rock, the trowel and brush at work and the dust rising; on the drop the field jacket goes on round the skull.

Classic Studio

Deep Time

A cliff cut through the rock: every period named with its age, a fossil in each layer, the view sinking through time with the song; on the drop the boundary at 66 million years glows.

Classic Studio

The Great Hall

A skeleton mounted on its armature under the hall's arches and skylights, turning its head to the beat while visitors stroll below and the lamps rise with the song.

Classic Studio

The Prep Lab

The lab behind the glass: a field jacket open on the bench, the air scribe chipping the rock from the skull on the beat, chips flying, the microscope's ring light glowing; on the drop the skull lies clean.

Classic Studio

The Collections

A wall of cases lit in turn on the beat: an ammonite, a trilobite, an insect in amber, a fern, coins, a flint point, a clay tablet, and an amphora put back together from its shards through the phrase.
