Afghan Animal Bells Documentary using an OP-1

This is the result of my first OP-1 project. I learnt a lot about the OP-1 whilst doing it. In this 4-minute piece my partner’s mother, Janet Harvey, describes the animal bells she collected from Afghanistan whilst she was there in the '60s and '70s. Music and sounds were created by Barney with the bells themselves and have been composed and played over Janet’s words. I created a number of afghan bell synths and drum kits and happy to share them if anyone’s interested.

Yes, I’m also interested! I’d love some bells.

Here you go everyone. I like the idea of them possibly being used by other people. Enjoy: https://op1.fun/users/barneybrown/packs/animal-bells-from-afghanistan
