The bells! The bells!


A fitting image for Australia Day - crowds on the steps of the Sydney Opera House. 26-Jan-2005

While the image is from walking around town today, this post has nothing to do with Australia Day - aren't you relieved? :-) A friend reminded me this evening about a new type of carillon which has been set up in Melbourne - a field of bells where the music consists of MIDI files which control the bells. There are samples of each bell to download so that you can write new music for the instrument using a sequencer. Sounds a lot of fun - will have to give this one a go!
