Andreas Usenbenz - Bells Breath (Live @ Nikolauskapelle). Нежная музыка для души и ЖИЗНИ, а Пение птиц Успокаивает нервную систему.

Andreas Usenbenz is self-taught. Since 2000, he is working in the field between field recording, composition and improvisation. For his work Usenbenz primarily uses sounds from his immediate surroundings. These sounds, be sampled directly from the environment serve as starting material for his compositions. Drone Music or musique concrète, Ambient are genres which are heavily connected to Andreas work.

Andreas usenbenz – bells breath. Most environmental recordings aim to reproduce the recorded sound as natural as possible. For Bells Breath, Andreas Usenbenz‘ approach is different. On the occasion of its 125th anniversary, he recorded the 10 church bells of the Ulm Minister, stretched them and layered the different sounds until they are no longer recognisable as church bells but still have its intrinsic character.

Notes

The Music is based on field recordings of 10 different church bells installed in the Minster of Ulm. Usenbenz recorded the bells using a wide spaced A - B pair with omni directional DPA microphones, a Sennheiser ORTF setup and contact microphones mounted directly to the bells or their direct environment. The bells where rung by the Sacristan. Additionally, Usenbenz played them with different props to tease very specific sounds out of the bells. No additionally sounds were used in these compositions.
