The Koshi Mountain chime is part of the Earth Symphony collection, inspired by the great presences of Nature. Tuned to 440 Hz, it may evoke majesty, verticality and silence. With Mountain, Earth Symphony opens a vast and contemplative sonic territory.
The melody
The Mountain melody belongs to the Earth Symphony collection, a living symphony of four harmonic chimes inspired by the great landscapes of Nature: Mountain, Forest, River and Ocean. Earth Symphony is tuned to 440 Hz and is based on a broad sonic architecture.
Each chime has twelve rods, four of which are identically doubled at the same frequencies, also known as “sympathetic resonators.” This sonic architecture gives it greater depth and a rich, immersive resonance.
Comprising of the notes G# G# A A B B E G# A B the Mountain melody corresponds to E major. Its twelve rods are tuned by hand, with reference to 440 Hz, until they find their right place within the harmonic ensemble.
The four melodies of the Earth Symphony collection were designed to be played alone or in dialogue with one another within the same collection. Mountain, Forest, River and Ocean can therefore respond freely to one another: their chords remain coherent, whatever combination is chosen.
