The articles listed below have to do with everything musical except Csound. An ongoing interest of mine is chimes (including windchimes) and bells. I've worked with synthesized bells, sampled bells, as well as physical windchimes and other nature-activated instruments. The list is chronological; the most recent articles are at the top.
