Singing Tower is a short run object based release with associative packaging. This piece focuses on a single sound source, an automated carillon in the Hoover Tower at Stanford University. Recordings were made of both the tuned church bells and the machine that intones them, and these sounds were then manipulated to create the composition. The packaging,which houses a 3" cd, is modeled after the perforated metal device which is used to automate the ringing process.
