Woodstock Chimes of Westminster- World Music Collection

This toll plays the popular tones of London’s Big Ben, ringing out radiant hints of festivity and otherworldly lavishness. The one of a kind sound of these long cylinders is the consequence of the unique way our cerebrum sees the vibrations from our ear – known as the missing essential (when a sound’s hints recommend a recurrence to our ear which the sound itself needs). Our Chimes of Westminster play indistinguishable conventional and happy tune from the Westminster Quarters heard in the roads of focal London for more than 150 years. Delay a brief while with me, to hear The rings which are drifting as sweet and clear, Above the city’s surge and thunder, As a wild winged animal’s melody by a lakelet’s shore; From Westminster Chimes by Maxwell Gray Over 30 years back, Grammy grant winning performer and instrument architect Garry Kvistad made the first Woodstock Chime from an aluminum folding chair he found in a landfill. Entranced by the Scale of Olympos, a seventh century pentatonic scale that can’t be played on an advanced piano, Garry trim and tuned the folding chair cylinders to the correct recurrence of the old scale. The subsequent Chimes of Olympos was the first Woodstock Chime is as yet one of our top rated, musically-tuned windchimes. Garry and his better half Diane established Woodstock Chimes in 1979 and still build up the rings today. It remains a family-possessed business in New York’s Hudson Valley.
