Beautiful! How did you create the soundtrack? There's something mechanical underneath the bells... So hard to put a finger on it, but it's a fascinating sound scape! Lovely set to picture.
ReplyDeleteAh, Andre, it's the clock itself that's making mechanical ticks. They layering (5 layers at one point) puts the ticks out of synch and creats a background undercurrent of phase shifting rhythm. The original recording is as clean as a babies' face.
ReplyDeleteRecorded with a Schoeps stereo xy pair to .wav file.
