The Story of Sound

“Echoes in the Dark” talks about how echoes in

caves (where paintings were found) produces sounds
that are similar those paintings. These paintings either
mimic the sound made by the caves. Echoes of
peculiar sound seems to gather round where the
concentration of these paintings are. These instances
will make you curious enough to question “How are
these paintings located where peculiar echoes
reverberate?” “Do these paintings have correlation to
these echoes in the dark?”

brought us to the life, mind and beliefs of the
Neolithic people. It tells us the art of sound
during the prehistoric era and how they use it
in every day living.
The story opened us into the sound before
the note, rhythm, hymn and modern
instruments.
 It tells us some part of our history
especially the history of the arts and
sounds.

It allows one to make more sense of the

current world.

It tells us that there is sound in the

darkness of the cave
CONCLUSION
Caves have a story to tell.
