carillon for kallmyer [disquiet0284] by otolythe

I started by using some of the track's room tone (containing overtones) for a base, then added in sections of scraping, then groups of bell tones. I found a rhythm or two in some bell passages; one of which I repeated here and there, and the other of which I looped with echoes. Then I pushed "rhythm" and "melody" tracks into either L or R, to create a stereo effect. Some other filters here and there added in a sense of various-sized rooms. Finally, the installation (visual) image was layered with mirrored reflections of a river. I was aiming for a piece that did not merely duplicate what Chris had already done, but also did not stray too far from the vibe he created.
