Abstract:
In this contribution I juxtapose two tales of borehole drilling in the Karoo in order to reflect on the relationship between music, landscape, history and everyday life. The first narrative is based on British colonial hydraulic engineering in the Karoo, and the second is an ethnographic portrait of borehole driller and concertinist Theo Slabbert. When landscape is considered vertically, different categories emerge for delving into the unruly, omnidirectional correlation between music and landscape. Here I focus on 'residue', 'grain', and, when the two narratives collide, 'reverberation'.
