Sound 3: Chimes and Motorcycles

As I walked, I ran into some construction near the Milwaukee Public Market, and was forced to head inland for a bit. Luckily, there were some really cool chimes just over a small hill that I would have missed completely if not for the construction. The chimes are made of wood and rusty metal, which is overall theme of the Third Ward, it seems.

I decided that since it wasn't a very windy day I would have to intervene in the noise-making process. Holding the microphones toward the chimes in one hand, I used the other to pull the chimes back and forth. The man on the motorcycle 20 feet away from me must have thought I was nuts. He wasn't wearing a helmet. Who's nuts now, Mr. Harley Man?

Chimes at midday... here.
