hi moritz,
lovely idea! i read this with great interest, as i happen to work on a piece for the tiergarten carillon + electronics in berlin right now. on the website about the carillon you mention the range of the instrument is almost 3 octaves (35 bells). but the lowest note is sounding rather an a (midi 57) instead of an A (midi 45). the soundrecording you provide, actually confirms this. carillons tend to be notated an octave lower, at least the berlin one is, and its lowest bell is g (midi 55), weighting several tons already.
i thought i mention, just before someone wants to go all bassy...
now i have to convert my max-patch for berlin to pd for weimar :-)
cheers hans www.hans-w-koch.net

Dear pd-community,
you have the chance to rock the bells of weimar city hall!
During the pd-convention from 8.8-14.8.2011 in weimar there will be
the possibility for "little evening concerts" on the porcelain
carillon in the tower of weimar cityhall. It is a great opportunity to
present your compositions/generated music/etc. in public space on an
ancient instrument. The city hall faces the market place - a touristic
hotspot of weimar.
- The concerts will take place every evening during 7p.m and 8p.m.
- There will be 5 concerts - one for every evening. The pd-con team
will select 5 pieces out of your submissions
- The compositions should not take longer than 12 minutes so they'll
fit in between the quarter-hour chime
- The compositions can be reached in either as a MIDI-file or as a
pure-data patch that outputs MIDI-notes (The carillon is MIDI- compatible)
For more information visit this wiki-page:
http://www.uni-weimar.de/medien/wiki/PDCON:Porcelain_carillon
There you'll also find a pure data sample player with the original
sound of the bells - so you can test your artwork wherever you are....Please send your suggestions/concepts/compositions until latest the
END OF JULY to: moritz.schell@uni-weimar.delooking forward to the results and to see you all in weimar,
frederic, max and moritz
