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.

Chiming In (disquiet0485)

Disquiet Junto Project 0485: Remix the pure sounds of Chris Kallmyer’s traveling wind chimes to your own musical purposes.

As I had already been working on wind chimes tracks (https://krakenkraft.bandcamp.com/album/sein-rausch), I simple replaced my own samples with Chris' in different granular production environments, mostly Nebulae in modular and Samplr on iPad, and I changed what felt wrong.

This is a recut/remix of around seven sessions, first versions were, as always, way too long, so this is the chart edit. I tried some percussion, but it didn't work for me, maybe because there is already a rhythmic component present. 

By whatsoever reason I wanted to use no other sound sources sources besides Chris Kallmyer’s "Two hearts are better than one" recording. His original is in the beginning and the end. Thanks to Chris for the opportunity!
