Sound Trip: Music of Mosaics

This innovative documentary captures the journey behind director Kit Monteith’s audio-historical exploration of the sonic potential hidden within Oxfordshire’s North Leigh Roman Villa. Amongst the ruins of an ancient civilisation lies a preserved fragment of the villa’s mosaic floor—first laid in the mid-fourth century AD. Captivated by the historical artefact, and in pursuit of forging genealogical and artistic connections between past and present, Monteith assembles a gamut of celebrated collaborators to produce an alternative sensory experience of a relic from the past.
