The Bells of Woodland Heights
This is a heavily modified recording of a triangle which ended up sounding more like a bell - thus the name.

The story
Originally recorded by me of a performance by Ed Hoffman using his triangle. I used a generous amount of FX on it to create this unworldly sound.

very specific sound, great for that!
I needed a high chimes/bells sound. I have a lot of them. When I heard this, I I tried it immediately, and it brought out the character of the section even better than I'd intended. Not something you could make the center of your songwriting, but for what it does, it's terrific.
Exactly what I've been trying and failing to achieve!
This is exactly what I've been missing for years; the evocative, brilliant sound of those high, meditative bell/chime/bowl accents in Lamb's "Soft Mistake"!
I absolutely love that piece (and the whole "fear of Fours album, for that matter), to the point that I've been trying to recreate its sound world since before I started making music of my own.
These "bells" contain the sound and the space that is helping me tie it all together, and that is unfortunaly more than I can say for anything inside the 3000€ plus investment I've made into instrument libraries in the last three years, because I've realized that I do not like the attitude or sound aesthetic, or whatever you might call it, of contemporary media composition. That perhaps also explains why other reviewers and perhaps you will not find it very useful. I however hope there's lots more of this to come!
Very in your face and a-lot of reverb.
Since I'm generally a fan of darker more chill music, these bells seem very bright and jarring to me. No doubt they have their uses, i think they could be cool for scoring but i can't see myself using them in what im working on now. Also as everyone has been saying they are extremely wet with no way to change this so you're stuck with that wether you like it or not. The bells are very resonant, you might like this or not like it depending on your taste. Good job but more controllability would make this more usable
