520 _aRESUMEN: Norfolk Island's Cyclorama is a 360-degree painting that tells the story of Fletcher Christian (1764-1793) and the mutiny on the Bounty. The Cyclorama is a visual spectacle and sonic experience that takes the viewer on the mutineers' life journey from their cultural roots in the British Isles to their infamous mutiny in the Pacific Ocean in 1789. After a period of uncertainty, as a way of avoiding the British, the mutineers settled on the remote island of Pitcairn, but were relocated to Norfolk Island in 1856 (some islanders subsequently returned to settle in Pitcairn). With this particular Cyclorama there is an accompanying soundscape that adds to the experience, and the performance event provides a focal point for rethinking the interconnections between music and art. The superimposed sounds consist of music, sound and speech that add a sonic imagery to the visual story of the mutiny on the Bounty and its legacy of the lies of Pitcairn and Norfolk islanders. The Norfolk Cyclorama and ist musical manifestation have helped create a cultural soundscape of mediated music that represents the story of the mutineers and their descendents. In this sense, as with many other multimedia art works, the visual has helped determine the sonic. Just as many art works of musical relevance can inform the cultural historian on the life and place of a particular musician or music object, the Cyclorama creates cultural meaning in terms of illustrating the social history. But what makes this particular art experience unique among sound and visual creativity is that the accompanying soundscape adds to the experience through a social and cultural nogotation between artist, composer and viewer.
