There's always something magical about windchimes, I find. In fact, I spent several years yearning for some Woodstock chimes, the ones that are tuned to a specific scale (and cost a specific scale too). I finally got some lovely deep resonant ones, and they are just as wonderful as I always hoped. Be they high or low pitched, expensive or cheap, the noise is always soothing, restful and very natural. No matter how random the sound, it still seems tuneful. Random. 'Puters are good at random stuff, and guess what I found? Yep, windchimes for the puter. Now very sensibly, the designers havent just limited themselves to a few old steel tubes here, in fact there are a whole host of instruments to try out, from chimes to guitars, to some of the more unusual of synthetic sounds. Windchimes has so many variables, from pitch, tone, scale, voice, even to how strong the wind is and how far apart the ends of the chimes are (clearly this must make a difference...) I just have a few pre-sets I like the best. For the days I can't pick out a cd, or don't want music, or can't stand the silence, this is the toy I pick out. And if you team it up with the gentle sounds of seagulls at Rohoboth Beach courtesy of Smiley Pro, instant relaxation is yours. Assuming you have a soundcard and speakers, evidently. And that you like natural sounds. Well, as natural as you can get them with a bunch of circuits and wires. Um, I think you get the point. Update 2004: Syntrillium have been bought out by Adobe and Windchimes is hard to find, except for an obscure Chinese ftp site, link below duly updated: To try a demo of Windchimes for yourself, click here to download. screenshot
