The sonic display at the Haus des Glockenspiels, Bremen

Bremen, Germany - on the hour in a beautiful backstreet of the old city, a display of 20 porcelain bells performs a nine-minute, glockenspiel-like sound display. A series of pretty tunes ring out across the rooftops, while rotating panels in the walls change around to tell various stories from the city's history, like famous seafarers and aviators. It's a genuine sonic tourist attraction, so a must for field recording.
