描述:On 30th January 2013 I took out with me a set of Woodstock Chimes of Pluto and two sets of Music of the Spheres Gypsy wind chimes the Soprano and Mezzo sizes, the sounds of which latter two mesh together beautifully. I was aiming for the same recording location as I used for my previous wind chimes recordings in November 2012 but this time a very strong wind was blowing over the more exposed parts, and, on the Hunters' Path from Drewsteignton (Devon, UK), high up on the side of the socalled Teign Gorge above Fingle Bridge, as I was coming out of the woods that clothe the steep valley slopes I was suddenly blasted by a wind of about gale force (force 8 on the Beaufort scale), and realized that my previous recording locations here would most likely be too windy this time. So, I withdrew very slightly back into the top of the woods, descending slightly to just below the top part of the narrow track that ascends steeply from Fingle Bridge to join the Hunters' Path, and found a suitable group of low tree branches that were sufficiently sheltered to be getting a very nice range of wind strength, from very little indeed up to 'fresh' (force 5 on the Beaufort scale). Thus today was not only to be an experiment to see to what extent the Gypsy chimes could usefully be combined with any of the quite different sounding Woodstock chimes, but also an opportunity to record a gale in the woods, with wind chimes intermingled in the wind sound and indeed quite often buried in it as the most powerful gusts came. The results turned out to be interesting and very much in accordance with what I had been hankering after for as long as I'd been thinking of recording wind chimes. It is important, therefore, to enable yourself to perceive this particular day's recordings NOT as 'failed' or otherwise bad chimes recordings, but as extremely successful galeinthewoods recordings complete with wind chimes. As well as the wind commotion, actually the River Teign far below was making its own quieter commotion, for it was particularly full after a lot of heavy rain, but during my whole 5+ hours' recording session I could never quite differentiate between the rushing sound of the Teign and the wind. One thing you are bound to notice is that the degree of activity of the chimes does not tally all that much with the degree of roaring of the wind in the trees. This is because of my relatively sheltered position, so the big and powerful eddies in the flow of the air as it comes over the hill into the valley go careering through the tree branches above and around me, but the gusts that come to me and the recorder and chimes are almost all NOT those directly but smaller subsidiary eddies that come spinning off the big ones. It is inevitable that the wind commotion will make particularly fatiguing listening, especially to the fulllength recordings, when played through anything other than really good speakers / headphones. Please note that in the fulllength recordings made on this day, ALL of them have some awesomely powerful and loud wind gusts that at times virtually drown out the chimes, so any of the excerpts here seeming louder or quieter than others is in fact misleading, as all the full length recordings have very loud and also almost quiet (albeit far from silent) moments. Please note also, that if you watch the waveform image here on Freesound while playing the excerpts you will NOT get the proper effect. The big wind gusts sound immensely more powerful and even frightening when you are NOT watching that, so you never know how much more the sound is going to increase, maybe to blow you and indeed the whole of Existence away :) Another listening tip if you have really good and wide stereo separation you will find that the wind sound is not simply a fluctuating roar (really rather boring), but a wonderful drama of ogreish 'wind monsters' chasing around here, there, and who knows where The threedimensional movement really makes an exciting drama of it all. This recording is of the Woodstock Chimes of Pluto, plus the Music of the Spheres Gypsy Chimes, Soprano size. The combination of the Pluto and Gypsy chimes produces a curious effect. The Pluto chimes neutralize the intense emotional feel of the Gypsy chimes, and at the same time the latter neutralize the Pluto Chimes' buoyant 'happy' feel, and the combination has a delicately wistful sound as heard on my quite reasonable computer speakers. However, on my hifi system comes a revelation, and the effect is not really wistful at all but an almost happy and rejoicing sound, centred in certain gentle and teasing harmonic astringencies that this chimes combination has brought us. This is a 5minute excerpt from the 39+ minutes full recording. http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/recordingnrtopofwoodsabovefinglebridge.jpgThis photo shows my recording studio for 30th January 2013 almost at the top of the north side of the Teign Gorge, and facing obliquely over the valley, so that the great gusts of wind come roaring from the right and then go careering round over and down into the valley. The sets of chimes visible are the Gypsy Mezzo (left, and further away) and the Pluto (right).Note that the former being further away is not a bit of carelessness of mine, but a quite deliberate placement. I learnt from my first Gypsy Chimes recordings (back in November) that for best results those particular chimes need to be placed further from the microphones than the Woodstock or bamboo chimes (at least, those that I have), on account of their more penetrating and potentially overpowering tone.http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/trackhighabovefinglebridge.jpgLooking the other way from near the top of the track ascending from Fingle Bridge, which latter is hidden way down below. The recorder is about 25 metres behind me, just a little down the slope from this track. Recording made with a Sony PCMM10 on a Velbon minitripod, using the builtin microphones covered with a Rode Dead Kitten. http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/arrowlongright.gif Please note that all recordings from 5th January to 2nd Feb 2013, inclusive (i.e. including this one) did not receive any correction for highfrequency attenuation caused by the new Rode Dead Kitten windshield. Subsequently I was able to work out a graphic EQ profile to apply to all recordings that used that windshield, and have applied it retrospectively but I have no plans to go through the hassle of reuploading here the recordings that originally missed out on that correction. Therefore, copies of recordings made in that period, including this one, which I supply on CDs or as licensed copies for commercial use, will have better sound quality and will sound clearer, more 'present', and with more precision of detail than what you hear from here. Please note that only very good speakers / headphones with a very extended and flat frequency response will do this recording real justice, and, as already noted, lesser speakers / headphones would make this sound quite fatiguing to listen to. Please also note that the volume level of this recording has been carefully adjusted for listening purposes, and ALL my recordings so far are meant to be listened to with a volume setting that would give a realistic level for playback of CLASSICAL music (a large but not exceptional symphony orchestra). If you have the right volume setting, you should not need to change that setting from one recording of mine to another. Please remember to give this recording a rating http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/meicon_wink.gif

描述:2013年2月6日,我带着一套Woodstock Gregorian Tenor风铃和两套Music of the Spheres Gypsy风铃Soprano和Mezzo尺寸的风铃来到英国德文郡的Teign Gorge,后两者的声音完美地融为一体。实际上,我期待着大风的到来,就像我一周前的录音一样,尤其是一夜之间的大风,但事实上,风势已经缓和下来,只有 "强"(蒲福尔等级的6级),但比上次更冷,所以这对我来说必然是更大的挑战(我有雷诺氏病,四肢寒冷的问题)。由于我预计会有大风,所以我选择了与上周相同的地点在穿过山谷边的树林上升到猎人路的顶部附近,因为猎人路正好从顶部的树林中走出来。事实证明,这里仍然可以获得非常有用的风力变化,可以让风铃工作,当阵风穿过树林时也有非常好的声音但一般来说,没有像上周那样壮观的戏剧性。 我确实尝试过将格里高利钟声和吉普赛钟声结合在一起但这两种钟声不兼容,一起产生了混乱的不和谐的胡言乱语,我删除了用这种组合做的两段录音但幸运的是,我又继续将我今天拿出来的东西做得最好,结果录音的效果相当好,有来自远处泰恩河的漂亮背景音,而定期穿过树林的较大阵风的声音细节也很可爱,有助于赋予声音景观特别立体的质量。 这段录音是伍德斯托克格里高利次中音风铃,按照格里高利圣歌的音阶调音,使其发出明亮而 "宏大 "的声音http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/trackhighabovefinglebridge.jpg从Fingle Bridge上升的轨道顶部附近向另一边看去,后者隐藏在下面。录音机在我身后约15米处,就在这条轨道的斜坡上。 用索尼PCMM10在Velbon迷你三脚架上进行录音,使用内置的麦克风,用Rode Dead Kitten防风罩覆盖。我使用Audacity应用了一个自定义的EQ配置文件来纠正挡风玻璃造成的高频消音。 请注意,只有非常好的扬声器/耳机具有非常宽广和平坦的频率响应,才能使这段录音真正公正。 还请注意,这段录音的音量已经被仔细调整过了,到目前为止,我所有的录音都是要用一个音量设置来听的,这个音量设置可以为古典音乐(一个大型但不特别的交响乐团)的播放提供一个真实的水平。如果你有正确的音量设置,你应该不需要从我的一个录音中改变这个设置。(后记:这段录音声音比这里好在我的一张商业CD上,可以在我的电子商店 。) 请记得给这个录音评分! http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/meicon_wink.gif

描述:On 6th February 2013 I took out with me to the Teign Gorge, Drewsteignton, Devon, UK, a set of Woodstock Gregorian Tenor Chimes and two sets of Music of the Spheres Gypsy wind chimes the Soprano and Mezzo sizes, the sounds of which latter two mesh together beautifully. I was actually expecting a gale as I experienced for my recordings a week before, especially as there had been a gale overnight, but in fact the wind had eased down to a mere 'strong' (force 6 on the Beaufort scale), but it was colder than last time, so this was bound to be more challenging for me (I have Raynaud's disease, the cold extremities problem). Because of my expectations of a gale, I made for the same spot as last week near the top of the track ascending through the valleyside woods to join the Hunters' Path just as it emerges from the woods at the top. This proved still to get a very useful variation of wind strength to work the chimes, also with very nice sound as the wind gusts came through the trees but generally nothing as spectacularly dramatic as I'd had last week. I did actually try combining Gregorian and Gypsy Chimes but these turned out to be incompatible, together producing a chaotic discordant gibberish, and I deleted the two recordings I made with that combination but fortunately I then went on to make the best of what I had taken out this day, and the resultant recordings have turned out quite beautifully, with a nice background sound from the River Teign far below, and the periodic larger gusts of wind coming through the trees having a lovely detail of sound and helping to give the soundscape a particularly threedimensional quality. This recording is of the Music of the Spheres Gypsy Mezzo chimes, tuned to an Eastern European Gypsy scale, which gives them a hauntingly doleful sound. One curious thing is that the Gypsy chimes (only) at this particular spot on this particular day produced an odd nonmusical tapping sound at each strike of the tubes on the central 'striker' something very apparent in this recording. I had not heard that sound in my previous recordings of these chimes, including those made with the Gypsy Chimes hanging on the very same branches last week really quite weird, and I'm baffled as to the cause of that. Both the Gypsy sets were doing that, but not the Gregorian chimes, and also my afternoon recording of the Gypsy Soprano chimes down below, by the River Teign, did not produce that tapping sound at all. Just maybe I wonder if this was a temperature thing, and the air temperature of about 4 degrees C in this high position was just low enough to change the physical properties of those chimes' strikers to cause that tapping sound. This is a 5minute excerpt from the 20+ minutes full recording. http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/recordingnrtopofwoodsabovefinglebridge.jpgThis photo shows my recording studio for this occasion, but taken the previous week during my gale sequence almost at the top of the north side of the Teign Gorge, and facing obliquely over the valley, so that the gusts of wind come from the right and then some come swirling around here before they continue across or down into the valley as they will. The sets of chimes visible are the Gypsy Mezzo (left, and further away) and the Pluto (right, not used this time).http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/trackhighabovefinglebridge.jpgLooking the other way from near the top of the track ascending from Fingle Bridge, which latter is hidden way down below. The recorder is about 15 metres behind me, just a little down the slope from this track. Recording made with a Sony PCMM10 on a Velbon minitripod, using the builtin microphones covered with a Rode Dead Kitten windshield. I have used Audacity to apply a custom EQ profile to correct for the high frequency muffling caused by the windshield. Please note that only very good speakers / headphones with a very extended and flat frequency response will do this recording real justice. Please also note that the volume level of this recording has been carefully adjusted for listening purposes, and ALL my recordings so far are meant to be listened to with a volume setting that would give a realistic level for playback of CLASSICAL music (a large but not exceptional symphony orchestra).

I was actually expecting a gale as I experienced for my recordings a week before, especially as there had been a gale overnight, but in fact the wind had eased down to a mere 'strong' (force 6 on the Beaufort scale), but it was colder than last time, so this was bound to be more challenging for me (I have Raynaud's disease, the cold extremities problem). Because of my expectations of a gale, I made for the same spot as last week near the top of the track ascending through the valleyside woods to join the Hunters' Path just as it emerges from the woods at the top. This proved still to get a very useful variation of wind strength to work the chimes, also with very nice sound as the wind gusts came through the trees but generally nothing spectacularly dramatic as I had last week. I did actually try combining Gregorian and Gypsy Chimes but these turned out to be incompatible, together producing a chaotic discordant gibberish, and I deleted the two recordings I made with that combination but fortunately I then went on to make the best of what I had taken out this day, and the resultant recordings have turned out quite beautifully, with a nice background sound from the River Teign far below, and the periodic larger gusts of wind coming through the trees having a lovely detail of sound and helping to give the soundscape a particularly threedimensional quality. This recording is of the Music of the Spheres Gypsy Soprano and Mezzo chimes. As remarked for my November recordings of this combination, at a distance these chimes sound remarkably like some haunting ghostly organ playing. I deliberately placed them at a reasonable distance from the recorder to get a bit more of that effect. One curious thing is that the Gypsy chimes (only) at this particular spot on this particular day produced an odd nonmusical tapping sound at each strike of the tubes on the central 'striker' something very apparent in this recording. I had not heard that sound in my previous recordings of these chimes, including those made with the Gypsy Chimes hanging on the very same branches last week really quite weird, and I'm baffled as to the cause of that. Both the Gypsy sets were doing that, but not the Gregorian chimes, and also my afternoon recording of the Gypsy Soprano chimes down below, by the River Teign, did not produce that tapping sound at all. Just maybe I wonder if this was a temperature thing, and the air temperature of about 4 degrees C in this high position was just low enough to change the physical properties of those chimes' strikers to cause that tapping sound. This is a 5minute excerpt from the 32+ minutes full recording. http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/recordingnrtopofwoodsabovefinglebridge.jpgThis photo shows my recording studio for this occasion, but taken the previous week during my gale sequence almost at the top of the north side of the Teign Gorge, and facing obliquely over the valley, so that the gusts of wind come from the right and then some come swirling around here before they continue across or down into the valley as they will. The sets of chimes visible are the Gypsy Mezzo (left, and further away) and the Pluto (right, not used this time).Note that the former being further away is not a bit of carelessness of mine, but a quite deliberate placement. I learnt from my first Gypsy Chimes recordings (back in November) that for best results they need to be placed further from the microphones than the Woodstock or bamboo chimes (at least, those that I have), on account of their more penetrating and potentially overpowering tone.http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/trackhighabovefinglebridge.jpgLooking the other way from near the top of the track ascending from Fingle Bridge, which latter is hidden way down below. The recorder is about 15 metres behind me, just a little down the slope from this track. Recording made with a Sony PCMM10 on a Velbon minitripod, using the builtin microphones covered with a Rode Dead Kitten windshield. I have used Audacity to apply a custom EQ profile to correct for the high frequency muffling caused by the windshield. Please note that only very good speakers / headphones with a very extended and flat frequency response will do this recording real justice. Please also note that the volume level of this recording has been carefully adjusted for listening purposes, and ALL my recordings so far are meant to be listened to with a volume setting that would give a realistic level for playback of CLASSICAL music (a large but not exceptional symphony orchestra). If you have the right volume setting, you should not need to change that setting from one recording of mine to another.(Later note: This recording with better sound than here is on one of my commercial CDs, and can be found in my eStore.)

描述:On 30th January 2013 I took out with me a set of Woodstock Chimes of Pluto and two sets of Music of the Spheres Gypsy wind chimes the Soprano and Mezzo sizes, the sounds of which latter two mesh together beautifully. I was aiming for the same recording location as I used for my previous wind chimes recordings in November 2012 but this time a very strong wind was blowing over the more exposed parts, and, on the Hunters' Path from Drewsteignton (Devon, UK), high up on the side of the socalled Teign Gorge above Fingle Bridge, as I was coming out of the woods that clothe the steep valley slopes I was suddenly blasted by a wind of about gale force (force 8 on the Beaufort scale), and realized that my previous recording locations here would most likely be too windy this time. So, I withdrew very slightly back into the top of the woods, descending slightly to just below the top part of the narrow track that ascends steeply from Fingle Bridge to join the Hunters' Path, and found a suitable group of low tree branches that were sufficiently sheltered to be getting a very nice range of wind strength, from very little indeed up to 'fresh' (force 5 on the Beaufort scale). Thus today was an opportunity to record a gale in the woods, with wind chimes intermingled in the wind sound and indeed quite often buried in it as the most powerful gusts came. The results turned out to be interesting and very much in accordance with what I had been hankering after for as long as I'd been thinking of recording wind chimes. It is important, therefore, to enable yourself to perceive this particular day's recordings NOT as 'failed' or otherwise bad chimes recordings, but as extremely successful galeinthewoods recordings complete with wind chimes. As well as the wind commotion, actually the River Teign far below was making its own quieter commotion, for it was particularly full after a lot of heavy rain, but during my whole 5+ hours' recording session I could never quite differentiate between the rushing sound of the Teign and the wind. One thing you are bound to notice is that the degree of activity of the chimes does not tally all that much with the degree of roaring of the wind in the trees. This is because of my relatively sheltered position, so the big and powerful eddies in the flow of the air as it comes over the hill into the valley go careering through the tree branches above and around me, but the gusts that come to me and the recorder and chimes are almost all NOT those directly but smaller subsidiary eddies that come spinning off the big ones. It is inevitable that the wind commotion will make particularly fatiguing listening, especially to the fulllength recordings, when played through anything other than really good speakers / headphones. Please note that in the fulllength recordings made on this day, ALL of them have some awesomely powerful and loud wind gusts that at times virtually drown out the chimes, so any of the excerpts here seeming louder or quieter than others is in fact misleading, as all the full length recordings have very loud and also almost quiet (albeit far from silent) moments. Please note also, that if you watch the waveform image here on Freesound while playing the excerpts you will NOT get the proper effect. The big wind gusts sound immensely more powerful and even frightening when you are NOT watching that, so you never know how much more the sound is going to increase, maybe to blow you and indeed the whole of Existence away :) Another listening tip if you have really good and wide stereo separation you will find that the wind sound is not simply a fluctuating roar (really rather boring), but a wonderful drama of ogreish 'wind monsters' chasing around here, there, and who knows where The threedimensional movement really makes an exciting drama of it all. This recording is of the Music of the Spheres Gypsy Soprano and Mezzo chimes. Without being combined with chimes tuned to other scales, the weird, emotionally intense quality of these chimes is able to sing out. As remarked for my November recordings of this combination, at a distance they sound remarkably like some haunting ghostly organ playing. I deliberately placed them at a fair distance from the recorder to get a bit more of that effect though actually the gustiness of the wind resulted in the chimes often being rather frisky and clangy, and that rather disrupts the 'ghostly distant organ' effect This is a 5minute excerpt from the 35+ minutes full recording. http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/recordingnrtopofwoodsabovefinglebridge.jpgThis photo shows my recording studio for 30th January 2013 almost at the top of the north side of the Teign Gorge, and facing obliquely over the valley, so that the great gusts of wind come roaring from the right and then go careering round over and down into the valley.

Subsequently I was able to work out a graphic EQ profile to apply to all recordings that used that windshield, and have applied it retrospectively but I have no plans to go through the hassle of reuploading here the recordings that originally missed out on that correction. Therefore, copies of recordings made in that period, including this one, which I supply on CDs or as licensed copies for commercial use, will have better sound quality and will sound clearer, more 'present', and with more precision of detail than what you hear from here.

It is important, therefore, to enable yourself to perceive this particular day's recordings NOT as 'failed' or otherwise bad chimes recordings, but as extremely successful galeinthewoods recordings complete with wind chimes. To tell the truth, this particular day's spectacular recording session very nearly didn't happen I had arrived in the woods thinking just of recording the particular chimes I'd brought out, just with a little wind noise, and when I got setting up for the first recording, and the chimes were being drowned out by a monstrous gust in the trees, I had great doubts about continuing, but then rather dubiously set that recording going. After about 10 minutes I was wondering why the hell I was loitering around there for an obvious failure of a recording to run its course, and was starting to think of packing up there and then and trying to find a more sheltered place. At that point I used a special inner inquiry method that I call energy testing, and it gave a 'weakening' response (effectively a thumbsdown) to my doing so, so, a little perplexed, I let the recording run (originally intended to run for 40 to 45 minutes, to allow for some disturbances to be edited out). It was during the remainder of the time of that recording that I progressively woke up to what I was really recording, and started to get excited at the fact of my getting a real cracker of a gale recording and then I stuck to that same spot for the following seven extended recordings, then really excited to record as much as I could there. As well as the wind commotion, actually the River Teign far below was making its own quieter commotion, for it was particularly full after a lot of heavy rain, but during my whole 5+ hours' recording session I could never quite differentiate between the rushing sound of the Teign and the wind.

描述:Recording made on 6th November 2012 with a Sony PCMM10 on a Hama minitripod, using the builtin microphones covered with a Rycote Mini Windjammer. I have used a graphic EQ profile in WavePad to compensate for the slight muffling of the sound caused by the Windjammer. My three wind chimes recordings made on this particular day mark the beginning of a new project of mine, which I provisionally call Wind Chimes In the Wild, to produce a collection of truly authentic recordings of a range of quality wind chimes out in Nature, where 'the elements' are an important aspect of each recording. I was moved to point myself towards this project because of the sheer awfulness of all the commercial wind chimes recordings that I'd bought or otherwise heard. The problem was usually not the chimes themselves, but the sheer laziness and contempt for the listener of whoever recorded / produced those recordings, which turned out ALL to be faked in various ways either being just repeating loops of a very short recording, or jiggled mechanically and not by any wind, as shown by regularly repeating patterns in the waveform (and far too consistent a sound level), and any wind or other natural sounds clearly just dubbed on, with no relationship between wind strength variations and the chimes activity. The only decent wind chimes recordings that I'd found were a small number on Freesound, and they include some really beautiful ones. So, I decided to help fill the gap left by the lazy and profiteering commercial producers of wind chimes recordings, and make real 'in the wild' wind chimes recordings, with full authenticity, including even wind noise in the microphones at times. The latter, although for many purposes regarded as undesirable, actually enhances my recordings at least provided it doesn't get really disruptively loud. After all, if you're out in the wind you do get the wind rumbling, booming and drumming in your ears, and really it's a nuisance only when it gets really strong and gets drowning out what you actually mean to be listening to out there. On 6th November 2012 I took out with me three sets of Woodstock wind chimes, with the intent to record some 10 minutes of each solo, and a full halfhour of each of the four possible combinations of these. In the event conditions enabled me to get only three recordings. I hung the chimes on small low branches of stunted trees by the Hunter's Path overlooking the oversteepened valley (popularly known as the Teign Gorge, though it is not actually a gorge) in the vicinity of Sharp Tor, very near Drogo Castle. This recording is of the smallest of the chimes I'd brought the Chimes of Pluto, which are moderately highpitched and are tuned to a very sweet sounding pentatonic scale (actually a bit sweeter than I prefer). I hung them on a stunted tree right beside the track, overlooking the very steep slope to the valley bottom, from where you can hear a distinct continuous background rushing sound of the River Teign. The only workable place where I could put the recorder was actually with the minitripod straddled on a junction of low branches of this tree, and it was distinctly exposed to the wind, which made quite a lot of noise in the microphones, but, at least to me, makes a lot more variety and interest in the recording, though I wouldn't want it any stronger than it gets later in this recording. I chose not to make further recordings at that spot that day and since I uploaded this excerpt I have used a graphic EQ profile on the full recording to slightly 'tame' the heaviness of that noise. Actually, for some people the wind in the microphones would be more or less troublesome anyway, simply because it works well only with listening equipment that has a reasonably flat and well extended bass response. Any tendency to boominess, or indeed a significant deficiency in very low frequency response (as would be the case in virtually all computer speakers) would make that wind noise more problematical. This excerpt from the 12minute full recording is the opening five minutes. For some reason, as with the other two recordings I made on that day, there is a fair bit more 'action' and indeed at times boisterousness after the first five minutes which works out quite satisfyingly when listening to the full recordings. The photo below is of the actual setup for this recording, with the recorder on the minitripod just visible rather awkwardly astride the base of a branch. http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/chimesplutohunterspath299x355.jpg Please note that the volume level of this recording has been carefully adjusted for listening purposes, and ALL my recordings so far are meant to be listened to with a volume setting that would give a realistic level for playback of CLASSICAL music (a large but not exceptional symphony orchestra). If you have the right volume setting, you should not need to change that setting from one recording of mine to another.(Later note: This recording with better sound than here is on one of my commercial CDs, and can be found in my eStore.)

描述:2012年11月21日,我带着一大一小两套廉价的竹制风铃和两套Woodstock(优质金属)风铃出门。我把风铃挂在夏普托的一棵位置特别好的矮树的小树枝上,就在猎人之路旁边,那里可以俯瞰过陡的山谷(俗称提恩峡谷,虽然它实际上不是一个峡谷),非常靠近德罗戈城堡。实际上,这块岩石挡住了谷底提恩河的视线和最直接的声音,在这个地方,我有必要把录音机朝向另一个方向,背对着猎人之路。 这一天,提恩河的背景声音其实比平时要大不少,因为一夜之间下了一场特殊的雨,造成当地相当普遍的洪水事件,因此今天的河流都非常满。 这段录音是我在埃克塞特当地购买的两套竹制风铃,每套只花了几英镑。它们都有相当不精确的调音,但尽管如此,大的一套给人以全音阶的感觉(当与其他风铃一起使用时,听起来一定很有趣),而小的一套,虽然在调音上似乎更不确定,但在大的一套的范围内增加了一个三音和其他 "有趣 "的音程。我总是选择将两套竹编钟放在一起使用。这种组合有一种有趣的、"泥土的 "声音,对我来说,"原样 "听起来很好,但与我的一些金属风铃结合起来,也会产生非常有趣的效果,至少我自己觉得它们非常漂亮。在这段录音中,它们的声音或多或少是安静的,因为风还没有达到最佳水平。 这是13分钟以上的完整录音中的5分钟节选。 http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/chimesgregorianplutorecordingsharptordrogo500x375.jpg这张照片显示了我2012年11月21日的录音室在Teign Gorge北侧高处的Sharp Tor。可以看到的钟声是Woodstock Gregorian Chimes和Chimes of Pluto. 用索尼PCMM10在Hama迷你三脚架上进行录音,用Rycote迷你Windjammer覆盖内置麦克风。我在WavePad中使用了一个图形均衡器配置文件来补偿Windjammer造成的轻微消音。 请注意,这个录音的音量水平已经被仔细调整过了,到目前为止,我所有的录音都是要用一个音量设置来听的,这个音量设置可以为古典音乐(一个大型但不特殊的交响乐团)的播放提供一个真实的水平。如果你有正确的音量设置,你应该不需要从我的一个录音中改变这个设置。(后记:这段录音声音比这里好在我的一张商业CD上,可以在我的电子商店。)
