Pascal Villesuzanne, guide at the Abri de Cap Blanc, talks to us about a subject close to his heart: music in prehistory.
With regard to the site of Cap-Blanc, this activity is attested by the discovery, during the excavations of Doctor Lalanne, of whistles made in a phalanx of deer, an object which could have been used as a decoy for hunting. This piece is kept at the Museum of Aquitaine in Bordeaux
– Pascal Villesuzanne
Talking about music or sounds for the Upper Paleolithic is not easy because there are few musical instruments for this long period but in this chronicle pascal Villesuzanne offers us a demonstration of some.
I am going to present to you some of them which have been discovered on prehistoric sites in the Great South-West and make you listen to their sounds from experimental objects.
Whistles, flutes, scrapers, conches, percussion… Pascal Villesuzanne offers us an anthology of prehistoric sounds, an introduction to a special week that we will be devoting to these Paleolithic instruments in a few weeks.
