A wind chime can sound reassuring in the afternoon and unsettling after dark. The sound hasn’t changed very much. The space around it has. That shift in how we hear a familiar object is a good way into Turntable Kachina’s two-track release “Wind Chimes.”
What kind of music is “Wind Chimes”?
It’s an instrumental release with a creepy, retro-horror character. The two pieces fit the moment in an old horror film when a room suddenly feels too quiet. Put them on through headphones and notice when your attention moves from the sound itself to whatever you imagine is just outside it.
Turntable Kachina also makes more relaxed instrumental music. “Regrowth” offers a different route into the project, particularly if you’re looking for something to play while studying. Listening to both releases shows how much atmosphere can change while the instrumental approach stays recognizable.
Start with “Wind Chimes” if you’re in the mood for unease. Come back to “Regrowth” when you want the room to settle down again.
