The RIVER melody in detail:
With River, the Earth Symphony collection continues its journey through the great landscapes of Nature. Mountain, Forest, River and Ocean form four distinct sonic worlds, designed to be listened to alone or in dialogue. The Koshi River chime is tuned to 440 Hz and 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 D# D# G# G# A# A# B B D# G# A# B the River melody corresponds to G# minor. Its twelve rods are tuned by hand, with reference to 440 Hz, until they find their right place within the harmonic ensemble. The four Earth Symphony melodies were designed to weave a natural harmony. Mountain, Forest, River and Ocean can respond freely to one another: each chime retains its own character while contributing to the balance of the ensemble.
River stands out with a fluid and positive sound character. Its melody may evoke movement and transformation. Its twelve rods extend the resonance and give the Koshi River chime a broad and flowing sound.
How to play the Koshi Chime:
Hold the Koshi River chime by its cord and let it hang freely. Turn it gently with a slight movement of the wrist: the central clapper sets the rods into vibration and brings forth a cascade of broad and deep notes. The broader the movement, the more the rods are set in motion. Or swing it gently in a pendulum motion to play individual notes. The Koshi chime can also simply be suspended, allowing the wind to play it through melodies that are always unexpected.
Technical Specifications:
Each Koshi River chime is hand-crafted at the foot of the French Pyrenees. The craftsperson solders twelve steel rods with silver onto a metal base, then tunes them one by one, with meticulous attention to their pitch and accuracy. The fine-wood resonance chamber amplifies the vibrations and gives the Koshi chime its long, clear and warm resonance.
