Transformed wind chimes: Nature-Symphony 2

Nature-Symphony 2 (Deep Cave Waterfall Celebrating Its Own Splendour) — Half-speed version of https://freesound.org/people/Philip_Goddard/sounds/702110/ with 'deep cave' transformation.

— The original was three short recordings put end-to-end, of Woodstock Gregorian Chimes (Tenor) heard through the boisterous sound of the River Teign just a little below Drogo Weir in the Teign Gorge, Drewsteignton, Devon, UK. Peaceful and relaxing. — Recommended as a sleeping aid.

A striking feature of this 'deep cave' reverberation is its directionality, so that the individual echoes / reverbs soar out in various directions, according to the position of each chime sound.

I made the basic recording on 6 February 2013, having retreated from recording chimes high above, where a cold wind forced me to flee.

This transformation of the original doubles both as as a 'sounds' recording (appropriate for Freesound) and as the second of my 'Nature-Symphonies' series of 'official' music compositions, soon to be presented on my music compositions site, linking to a copy of it on YouTube.

Drogo weir and the quite noisy de-frothing turbulent River Teign continuing on its way (13 November 2018 photo); the river flow was probably about half of what you see here. These recordings were made at different positions close to the river bank on this side, just a very little way further down — the nearest only a bit off to the left here, and the other two positions probably beside the furthest you can see of the river in this view.

Techie stuff:

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

Post-recording processing was to apply EQ in Audacity to correct for the muffling effect of the windshield — and then more recently stereo widening / sharpening-up using the VST plugin A1 Stereo Control (160% widening).

The current creative transformation was (1) to use the 'Change speed' effect in Audacity to halve the speed, then to use the Orilriver VST plugin ('Deep cave' factory preset) for the 'interesting' reverb. As this was then longer than I wanted, I edited out various sections with chimes inactivity to bring the duration down to about an hour.

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