I always jump at the chance to record new and unique sounds. During a trip in 2018 to Biberach/Riss in Germany, I was inspired by the church bells in the nearby village and knew I had to record their sounds.
I decided to record the bells on Sunday, as I knew that would be the best time to get the clearest and most authentic sound. However, finding the right location to record wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. On my first few attempts, the sounds were marred by people chatting and walking by.
Despite the initial setbacks, I was determined to record these church bells before leaving Germany. On my third try, I was finally able to record the bells with minimal background noise and wind interference. I was overjoyed to have recorded a full 6 minutes of the beautiful bell sounds!
As an added bonus, I also recorded the Sunday church bell from the main church in the city center of Biberach. This recording showcases the magnificent and grandiose sound of the bigger church, offering a contrasting experience to the quaint village church.
