Wind Chimes In the Wild

Invigorating late winter breeze with two bamboo and three metal wind chimes, quite exposed on the narrow Hunter's Tor ridge at the west end of the Teign Gorge, Drewsteignton, Devon, UK.

Chimes used:

Music of the Spheres Gypsy Mezzo (eastern European Gypsy scale, lower)

Music of the Spheres Gypsy Soprano (eastern European Gypsy scale, higher)

Woodstock Chimes of Pluto (pentatonic scale, middling-high)

Bamboo, large and small set (purchased cheaply from local store)

I made this recording on 18 February 2013 following a recording of the bamboo chimes only (https://freesound.org/people/Philip_Goddard/sounds/700526/ ).

This recording taking place. The two nearest and apparently higher chimes are the bamboo ones, the rightmost one is the Pluto chimes, and the other two (further back, with black tubes) are the Gypsy chimes.

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!
