Bell swing

Mar 09, 2020, 02:10 PM

Recording of a church bell ringing from inside the bell tower.  The sound of the bell is per se nothing new, but if you listen from second 25, you will hear the actual bell swinging, and you will hear it at the end too. 

Wish I could communicate the feeling of awe knowing there is a huge swinging bell on top of one's head (although I could not see it).  

I was needing a place to stay in Berlin, and a couple of real good friends, David and Mary, offered me to stay in their flat, and since they work for the Berlin Stadtmission, their flat was in the bell tower of St Lukas Kirche, right next to the remains of the Old Central Station. Recorded by Clelia Ciardulli.
