Outlandishly, mysteriously, other-worldly!
Here we have a weird duo, recorded on 10 May 2018 at my usual wind chimes recording spot, by Hunting Gate, at the highest point on the Hunter's Path, high up on the north side of the Teign Gorge, Drewsteignton, Devon, UK — as always, with a backdrop of the quiet rushing sound of the River Teign far below in the bottom of the valley.
Chimes used:
1. Davis Blanchard Pluto (right)
2. Davis Blanchard Twilight (left)
This was one of the fruits of my final recording session in my Wind Chimes in the Wild project. Perhaps perversely, I'm uploading my recordings in reverse chronological order — most recent first —, so the most 'advanced' sounds are tending to come earlier rather than later.

Birds heard include Chiffchaff, Blue tit, Wood pigeon, Raven, Willow warbler, chaffinch (calls) — and the odd friendly bumblebee coming fussing around.
Recording two Davis Blanchard chimes plus a large and small set of cheap bamboo chimes in an earlier session at the same spot (no photos for this session). The arrow points to the recorder, with its black furry windshield.
Techie stuff:
The recorder was a Sony PCM-D100, with three nested Windcut furry windshields (custom design), and it was placed on a Zipshot Mini tripod, in a position where it was tolerably sheltered from the wind.
Initial post-recording processing was to apply an EQ curve to compensate for muffling from the furry windshields.
Please remember to give this recording a rating — Thank you!
