Dissonance - Bells

by Taylor Nuttall

/

about

The original rerocding that this track is derived from is from Newcastle Civic Centre Carillion Bells recorded on 1st December 1967. The tune is the well known traditional carol Silent Night. No other samples or instruments have been used. All sounds are various modifications and audio effects to samples from the original recording.

Notes:
Newcastle Civic Centre is the main administrative and ceremonial centre for Newcastle City Council. It was designed by the city architect, George Kenyon and completed in 1967. It was formally opened by HM King Olav V of Norway on 14 November 1968. It is a Grade II listed building.
The recordings were made by the BBC on 1st December 1967 and it was the first time the carillon bells were heard by the public. The bells are in the main tower of the civic centre and can occasionally be heard today.
A Carillon is a musical instrument typically housed in a bell tower of a church or municipal building. The instrument usually consists of at least 23 cast bronze, cup-shaped bells, which are played serially to produce a melody, or together to play a chord. A traditional manual carillon is played by striking a keyboard—the stick-like keys of which are called batons—with the fists, and by pressing the keys of a pedal keyboard with the feet. The keys mechanically activate levers and wires connected to metal clappers which strike the bells.
