Architect Ammar Khammash made an instrument entirely from foraged flint stones from the deserts of Jordan.

4. to search (especially for something small, or something to eat - like mushrooms)

1. First watch with no sound and read the texts.
The Sound Of The Desert
2. Now watch with sound and then discuss these questions in pairs:
1. Why does Ammar say the desert has its own melody?
2. What did he discover when he used a tuning app on the stones?
