Bell Vault

A cathedral of struck & bowed metal you play. Every strike is a real dispersive resonant body — a bank of tuned resonators excited by a raised-cosine burst, never a canned bell sample. Play with the keys A–', hold Shift to bow, or tilt your phone to strum the vault.

Or just wait — after a moment the vault plays itself.
