The Chimes :: Cities and Memory (2021)
https://citiesandmemory.bandcamp.com/album/the-chimes
This album is all about bells - the iconic signal sound of towns, cities, religions and spirituality - and how the amazing sounds of bells can be used creatively.
St Martin's Church Remembrance Sunday :: St. Martin's Church Bell Ringers (2016)
https://divacontemporary.bandcamp.com/album/st-martins-church-remembrance-sunday-half-muffled-quarter-peal
Bells in The Walled Garden :: David J Pitt (2021)
https://aporee.org/maps/?loc=54675
It is windy in the large walled garden next to the church. To the right a mother sits talking on the phone. Her baby cries. She leaves passing in front of the mics. A plane flies over. Noon comes and the chimes sound from two different bells.
Track of the month:
