Gypsy Soprano wind chimes beside River Teign near Drogo Weir

Music of the Spheres Gypsy Soprano wind chimes heard through the boisterous sound of the River Teign just a little below Drogo Weir in the Teign Gorge, Drewsteignton, Devon, UK. The Eastern European Gypsy scale sounding from this chime imbues the rushing water sound with an air of mystery. The chimes are quiet initially, and at times throughout, though becoming overall a little more active later on. When they are quiet, their sound is buried in the weir sound, so you hear just teasing hints of the chimes sound, colouring the continuous rushing sound, and challenging the listener's own creative imagination to produce its own 'rushing water music'.

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

The next upload will be a version of this transformed by an applied 'deep cave' reverberation, and is expected to get listed on my music compositions site, as Nature-Symphony 3 — Music of the Unknown Deep Cave Waterfall, 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. This recording was made only a bit off to the left here, so the weir sound is quite strong.

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).

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