Disquiet Junto Project 0484: A Movable Heart. The Assignment: Transplant the sounds of Chris Kallmyer’s wind chimes to a new location.

I liked the assignment, because I just did a full album with only wind chimes in different compoundings. I transferred the recording (thanks to Chris!) to a portable speaker and took a stroll of around 5000 steps to a place in Munich, from which I hoped it could give some meditative ambience plus some natural reverb. Both wrong. Arriving at the underpass (Munich, Giesinger Berg), I already noticed that a place sounds different in the imagination than when you are at it (and whenever I crossed this underpass, I thought about recording something there). The bottom line is that there was more generic urban noises then expected and the natural reverb was quite unnatural, compared to VSTs ;-). Anyway, the recording used a Zoom H4n and I think it gives a pretty good impression of Chris' wind chimes in this place. The playback started not at the beginning, I don't know why, therefore the recording either, but it's a full loop.

Better - than Music! For I - who heard it -
I was used - to the Birds - before -
This - was different - 'Twas Translation -
Of all tunes I knew - and more -

'Twas'nt contained - like other stanza -
No one could play it - the second time -
But the Composer - perfect Mozart -
Perish with him - that keyless Rhyme!

So - Children - told how Brooks in Eden -
Bubbled a better - melody -
Quaintly infer - Eve's great surrender -
Urging the feet - that would - not - fly -

Children - matured - are wiser - mostly -
Eden - a legend - dimly told -
Eve - and the Anguish - Grandame's story -
But - I was telling a tune - I heard -

Not such a strain - the Church - baptizes -
When the last Saint - goes up the Aisles -
Not such a stanza splits the silence -
When the Redemption strikes her Bells -

Let me not spill - it's smallest cadence -
Humming - for promise - when alone -
Humming - until my faint Rehearsal -
Drop into tune - around the Throne -

Emily Dickinson
