Also, both Maas-Rowe and Schulmerich produce multi-voice electronic carillons as their flagship instruments. The Flemish voice is the only one that resembles cast carillon bells (Flemish/Dutch) - the others (English, Harp, Celesta etc.) are used mainly as an accompaniment. How Schulmerich in particular achieved the various tone colours is intriguing...often one set of rods would provide up to 3 voices, by using different striker heads and pickups at predetermined points.
Different. Obviously an experimental piece of abstract notation based on the random notes of wind chimes. The UCLA electronic carillon I believe is Maas-Rowe...the only manufacturer to still use amplified struck metal rods versus digital to produce the music.
Very, very interesting. From the looks of the console (and spotting the stop tab marked "Flemish bells") this is a Schulmerich carillon, I'm not sure if it's electronic, or if this is one of the nice older ones that plays real metal rods, amplified electrically. But these had multiple types of bell tone, arranged like organ stops.
BTW - One of the few installations that has been correctly termed 'site specific' ie the carillion is there; the wind computer is there. The artist has conjoined the two distinct disciplines and created a beautiful work of art, useful too as people are fascinated by the 'random' nature of the work. AWESOME truly...

Also note the "Inside" and "Tower" tabs, meaning one could select only "Inside" for practice.

I've never before heard a piece of music so relaxing; beautiful and fascinating construction.
