Mountains Hidden in Mountains

about: Made in 2004 as a sound installation inside a faux bell tower at the Santa Fe Art Institute. When rung by a visitor, the beater triggers a recording of the bell that fades in imperceptibly as the real sound decays, creating the illusion of an endless tone. The sound changes subtly over 30 minutes, slowly mixing in layers of pitch-shifted bell tones that get increasingly lower until they finally evaporate into silence.

This is a greatly condensed version. The CD version is about 30 minutes long.
