about

This is a trio for Hohner Guitaret, Ambira and e-bowed Frankencaster.

The end second half is an improvisation with a bomb-diving digital whammy improvising to the sound of the bells of St. Nicholas Cossack Cathedral in Omsk ringing out. It's inspired by the sensation of listening for the first time to the passage in Hohvaness's Symphony No. 23
where the bells of the thousand and one cathedrals of the ruined Armenian city Ani are played, and by the magical passage in The Silent Traveller in Edinburgh where the author has a mystical vision listening to the church bells.

Thanks to the Freesound users zabuhailo and dmitry-patrakov for capturing the sounds of Omsk and giving them to the world, especially for the amazing recording of the church bells peeling out:
