Gregorian wind chimes high up in the Teign Gorge

Wind Chimes In the Wild

Woodstock Gregorian Chimes (tenor), just below the Hunter's Path, high up in the Teign Gorge, Drewsteignton, Devon, UK. A bold and amusingly pretentiously upbeat sound!

I made this recording on 6 February 2013, in fairly windy conditions, at the same spot as on 30 January, when I was recording the chimes with a gale blowing. Hear my transformed version of it at https://freesound.org/people/Philip_Goddard/sounds/703126/ .

The recording location
A slightly earlier recording taking place at the same spot, on 30 January 2013. The wind was coming over the top of the hill, i.e., from the right and a little behind 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).

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

This recording can be used free of charge, provided that it's not part of a materially profit-making project, and it is properly and clearly attributed. The attribution must give my name (Philip Goddard) and link to https://freesound.org/people/Philip_Goddard/sounds/702214/
