Steve Peters: Mountains Hidden in Mountains (2004)

“Made in 2004 as a sound installation inside a faux bell tower at the Santa Fe Art Institute. When rung by a visitor, the beater triggers a recording of the bell that fades in imperceptibly as the real sound decays, creating the illusion of an endless tone. The sound changes subtly over 30 minutes (this is a greatly condensed version), slowly mixing in layers of pitch-shifted bell tones that get increasingly lower until they finally evaporate into silence.”
