Nature-symphonies — standalone components

Standalone Nature-Symphony component — 45, Layer 3 — Lowest of the three metal chimes layers of my Nature-Symphony 45 (https://freesound.org/people/Philip_Goddard/sounds/729254/ ), to whose page I refer you for full details. This belongs to a series of particularly beautiful / striking individual layers or layer groups taken from my Nature-Symphony oeuvre, which I'm uploading here (but probably not on YouTube). From Nature-Symphony 45, all metal chime layers were asking to be uploaded here, both individually and as a group. Each of these uploads reveals a whole lot of beautiful things that are buried in the complex sound of the whole Nature-Symphony. These are each not just technical curiosities, but exquisitely beautiful pieces of music.

At this pitch (2 octaves plus a minor third below original) we're into really other-worldly effects, with all sorts of tuning mismatches and consequent microtonal effects — it's the real bogey-elephant of the party!

To save me time, I'm keeping notes for each of these standalone individual layers or layer groups brief, and refer you to the full details on the page for the parent Nature-Symphony.

Chimes used:

1. Davis Blanchard Debussy Bells (8 tubes, tuned to the whole-tone scale, spread over 2 octaves)

2. Davis Blanchard The Blues (8 tubes, tuned to a laid-back sounding Blues scale)

For details of deployment and processing of the three layers, please see the full Nature-Symphony's page (see link above).

Advisory
To get the best out of this, with its mass of detail, listen with high-grade headphones.
