Wind Chimes

Several years ago I discovered an apartment complex that has a remarkable soundscape due to the number of wind chimes hanging throughout it.

The complex consists of multiple quads, enclosed by three-story-high buildings, with wind chimes hanging on every level and on every side. The chimes are all different sizes, types, and tunings.

When the wind is blowing, you are enveloped in a unique, constantly-changing sonic world.

Recently, I went back to the complex on a windy day with a portable recorder and in-ear binaural mics to make recordings.

Below is a selection of recordings from various areas in the complex (listen with headphones for the best effect).
