Description: Self-sounding big bell.
Recording these bells was not easy, but we enjoyed it. These are real bells on a clock tower that weigh up to half a ton on the largest platform, so it’s a very powerful sound that we’ve captured in every detail. Once we were able to get these big bells into the studio (using heavy lifting equipment), we set about recording them with two different types of hammers.
While the strong and persistent timbres here are perfect for dramatic hits, we also recorded a lot of softer beats that can sound extremely melodic when you play at lower velocities.
With built-in sound shaping and reverse articulation options, our carillon is far more versatile than we ever imagined.
The instruments were recorded in our dedicated AMS studio and when played together they shine in a cohesive tone, creating one of the most musical and magical collections we have ever recorded.
