Hi! I'm a carillonist, which means I play big tower bells. I like to play film scores and pop songs, alongside classical and contemporary music, and my own compositions.
I'm currently switching gears to dive more into the acoustics, music theory, instrument techniques and design, so I'm decreasing my upload frequency for now. New videos up at 8am Eastern every other Saturday.

Playing music upside down

If you're playing bells, you've probably heard this piece of advice before: play upside down.

I wasn't aware that bells minor overtones. This explains a lot :D
Excelente sonido!!
Extraordinario sonido
Wish you could do sometime the song Too sweet from Hozier! It is such a nice song and I think it would go well in a carillon version!
It was my dream to hear this song from bells! Thank for this masterpiece
Guys
I love you
My name is catnap
Hello guys
Hey guys
Hello guys
What a magnificent instrument. Would love to hear some tintinabuli pieces, such as Für Alina
too fast
Instructions unclear, got stuck under my grand piano.. For real though, another very insightful video. I'm enjoying your channel a lot. Thank you!
That's some flexing, hanging from your instrument like that! I'd like to see other instrumentalists try that.

I love Bach so much. I'm surprised most of it still sounded major. Most pieces sound minor because of the minor overtones. Maybe Bach's just that amazing 🥰🥰 That sounded really really good.
I'm going to make an analog synth patch with the second oscillator tuned to a minor third just to try this out. I often do this with a ninth (two semitones above the octave, if I'm getting the terminology wrong. I'm self-taught) because it is often in key if you are careful, but also can be pleasantly jazzy or disturbing when it is not. I'll also give a go at 4ths and major thirds too. It's a neat and challenging idea for a synth producer. Thanks for the insights!
I left out fifths because that is very common in synthesizer patches.
I love the view of the bells being struck. It gives an idea of what a substantial effort it must be to play them!
The carillon’s overtones make it sound unsettling I kinda like that :)
I was falling asleep listening to this and then woke back up towards the end and thought i was being cursed or something.
lol
Whereabouts is it? 👍🏼🤙🏻🤗👏👏👏
Bell towers do tell the time, right?
14:45 ...Thaaaah Siiimpsooons...
1:06 YESSSS now I need this for all my playthroughs of Thrawn's Revenge after achieving victory lol
Try without the machine holding it still, lol. You probably would know better, though, is it really free to move and that hard to move? If so, wow.
You should do the Futurama theme. It's already mostly bells, but I'd love to hear it done on some PROPER bells.
Holy shit that is some masterful carillon technique!!! I was lucky enough to learn the basics of carillon and play the bells at Clemson for a semester. I would never have the hand and foot coordination to pull off the chopin-like flutters and subtlety you’ve got going on here though. Damn!! I really wish I could go back and practice the bells all the time. Carillon is freaking cool man.
Hey do you know where I can buy tickets to the tour of the bell tower in Chicago. I wanna go there or here so bad 🙏❤
Only looking for the answer to the question? 3:57

Can you play Westminster chimes place
Very interesting video. Thank you for sharing. I admit I like the melody in the tenor bells, as to me it sounds so much richer. I didn't realize those clapper mechanisms were as strong as they are. I'm glad they are that strong otherwise we might be watching your concussion protocol video! 😊
Thank you so very much for this. I don't consider myself exceptionally religious but I love your version of this song. It touches my soul. I listen to it at least a couple of times a week.
Cathy, thank you so much for saying so! Really appreciate your support :-)
Thanks!
Xou should play La cathédrale egloutie.
No more haging upside down from a bell calper. Interresting video. You play so good.
It's really super interesting to see how differently you have to approach things on a carillon to make it work well with the bells. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! I first saw you in Rob Scallon's video and have been following you ever since because I find the topic very exciting and, as far as I know, there is nothing like it here in Germany. All the bell towers I know only play automatic, simple melodies, if at all. Some even just swing freely, which is really super boring compared to your art, to be honest. But what I wanted to ask is, do you only ever play on one carillon and have you changed your workplace, so to speak, since Rob's video, or do you play in several places, like at Rockefeller chapel for example, depending on what comes up?
That's a very timely question! I just arrived in Berlin, Germany yesterday. I'm playing a concert at Parochialkirche in Berlin at 15:00 today. My full schedule is on my website here: www.joeybrink.com/calendar
But generally, yes, a carillonist usually has one (or more) appointments at a specific tower that they play regularly. We do travel in the summers though to play at festivals and concert tours on each other's towers!
@@joeybrinkbells Oh, that's cool, thanks for the tip! Unfortunately I didn't make it to Berlin, as I live quasi at the other end of Germany near Cologne, but maybe I can make it to one of the next gigs in Belgium or the Netherlands, as I'm a bit closer to both of these. In any case, I'll keep an eye on your schedule, I'd really love to hear you play live!
I've just been reading up and found out that there are actually a few carillons in Cologne and the surrounding area. 5 of the 49 in the whole of Germany are located here, I actually didn't know that, maybe because these also only play automatically most of the time. But you never stop learning I guess. If you ever play one of these, I'll definitely come by, that's for sure!
Thank you so much for sharing your passion for this, I love learning more about things I l don't know anything about!
Your work on this channel is great, spreading the word about bells and their unknown complexities. Have you heard about the unesco call to make hand rung bells a world hermitage? Many bell ringer associations in Italy are thrilled about this since in our country bell ringing is very diverse and goes back many centuries. For example go take a look at "allegrezza per campane", rung on the Ambrosiano bells. What a great video and channel, keep this running!
Its neat to see the wear on the pegs that are most used compared to the ones that are clearly not
