Bamboo wind chimes at Hunter's Tor, Teign Gorge

Wind Chimes In the Wild

Invigorating late winter breeze with the airy dry rattling and sonorous bonkings of the bamboo chimes, quite exposed on the narrow Hunter's Tor ridge at the west end of the Teign Gorge, Drewsteignton, Devon, UK.

I made this recording on 18 February 2013 as a prelude to recording the bamboo chimes with three metal chimes. Because Hunter's Tor is lower than my usual high-level spots for Teign Gorge recordings, the background sound from the River Teign below is stronger.

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!
