Aluminum wind chimes

August 16, 2010 · Filed in Wind Chimes

Wind chimes got their start 5,000 years ago in Asia. Since then they have taken many turns and had many changes to them. They are now not only considered functional, but also loved as amazing pieces of art. The musical aspect is an added bonus that gives life to the art. These wind chimes can be made of a number of materials. Some of the most popular materials are glass and ceramic. Another popular light weight material being used, particularly by artists using this as a canvas to create new art, is aluminum.

Aluminum wind chimes have become very popular because they are easy to mold and make into whatever the artist desires. These wind chimes have a very particular sound. Since the material is so light weight it gets blown by the wind very easily and has a very light sound to it. The beauty of the aluminum is that it can be literally molded and shaped and cut into whatever the artist’s heart desires with ease. This makes it one of the easiest materials to work with. This allows the artist to choose from a number of different designs and also allows them to transport them very easily given the weight.

Wind chimes are a wonderful way to express yourself because of the variety of chimes you can make. You can use almost anything to make them with and you can paint them or leave the materials raw. Another thing that makes wind chimes so popular artistically is the fact that no two wind chime ever sounds the same. They are all extremely unique and each has its own personality to the music it plays. It is as if they are musical instruments never sounding alike. This adds to the artistic expression allowing every artist to be able to express themselves individually.

I am so in love with my Fibonacci Spiral Wind Chimes. They give me goosebumps every time the wind stirs! Is there any way I can capture the sound from the worldwindchimes page and make it my ringtone?
