A spectral change of a monastery bell through a hallway

Here is a recording of the change of the bell harmonics from inside a cloister overhang and then stepping out into the courtyard.  I step out around 17 seconds.

Bells at Santiago in Jaca

This was a bell tolling the end of a funeral at the church of Santiago in Jaca.  This is a very strange bell, and one I was very grateful to have captured.  It does not normally ring on the hour.  

Bells at Sarsamarquello

I have not posted in a while because I have been in the remote Pyrenees and have not been able to get batteries to feed my zoom.  Right before I lost power, I recorded the strange bell in the town of sarsamarquello.  I admired how it echoed off of the graveyard walls.  

Cowbells in Fields

Another valley recording!  I recorded these bells because they were ringing clear, and they were so musical.  It is almost a composition in itself.  Maybe I will "compose" it.  I guess I would have to credit the cute cows.

13 centuries in 15 minutes through Vic

Vic is an incredible sounding place.  No recordings can do it justice, but I had to try to capture at least a hint of it. I think Vic is so incredible because it is a sizeable old city, but so quiet.  When I did a sound walk in the morning, it was absolutely still except …

Birdcalls in the Mountain

This morning, the birds were singing in the caves and cliffs.  This is a recording of their reflections and a very unusual call echoing in the rocks.  

Monserrat

Yesterday we walked up the Montserrat mountain and stayed at the monastery.  It was very difficult, but worth every moment. I was most struck by the sound of their bell tower ringing from the mountains and reflecting from the rocks and the monastery.  I recorded this from the window of the pilgrim hostel.  

Artium

A year ago, I randomly attended a tour of the Artés wine cooperative.  I remember the wines, of course, and the fresh produce.  And one particular cell within their underground tunnels. The 'Artium' wine cooperative is one of the oldest co-ops around.  They still make all of their wines by hand and transport everything by …

Cowbells in the valley near Falgars

This recording was taken while standing on a hill and listening to the cows eat grass and subsequently ring the bells around their necks.  On my right is a hill and a cliff, and my left is an open field and a valley
