Bells Sketch #1

By fc on June 24, 2012 9:24 am

Sketch I did to test out a Max/MSP patch, and the gestures I'm building in it. This is a sketch of a piece for the federation bells in Melbourne, and is not really reflective of the end result. Sounds are samples of the bells themselves. Some of the gestures will be retained. In Max, there are individual buttons for every bells, with randomised velocity.

Enjoy.

Also: this is not mixed or mastered in any way.

Wow.  Crazy.  You actually going to run this on the bells?

I'm going to try, when it's finished I'm hoping that it'll get selected for performance on the bells!

Wow. That would be so very cool, on 39 real bells. Let us know if/when!

Thanks very much. I've submitted my final copy to the Melbourne Council, so I will let everyone know if it gets played! Meanwhile, a MIDI mock version of the finished piece can be heard: https://soundcloud.com/vince-giles/bells-sketch-2-final-draft
