Review of Bells From Everest

Very cool. Great nat.sound, just the right length. Needs no introduction because the piece tells the listener what it's about. I hope Tina keeps producing -- she had good timing and knows how to pick affecting soundclips.

Review of Bells From Everest

Although not quite sure what fresh air-ish is supposed to mean...what a great piece!
You've got a real and interesting character who turns junk from katmandu into beautiful sounding bells. All the sound effects were great during the walkthrough...nicely told.
