Wind chimes — half-speed versions

This is a half-speed extract from https://freesound.org/people/Philip_Goddard/sounds/700446/ . Very peaceful, but also with a strange melancholy! Gentle babbling of River Teign as it runs through a line of copse between fields as it approaches the so-called Teign Gorge (Drewsteignton, Devon, UK). The wind chimes give a weirdly strong melancholy to the proceedings, albeit in a most beautiful manner. Bird sounds are mostly robin, though with the odd chaffinch towards end.

Chimes used:

1. Music of the Spheres Gypsy Mezzo

2. Music of the Spheres Gypsy Soprano

3. Woodstock Chimes of Pluto

I made this recording on the afternoon of 5 March 2013, just a little way upstream from the Teign Gorge woods, on the edge of a pastureland field. The wind was dying down, so my recording time there was limited by that factor.

Techie stuff

The recorder was Sony PCM-M10, with Røde DeadKitten furry windshield (original, more effective, version), placed on a Velbon Mini tripod.

Post-recording processing was to apply EQ in Audacity to correct for the muffling effect of the windshield, and more recent processing with the A1 Stereo Control VST plugin (160% widening).

Please remember to give this recording a rating — Thank you!
