Local &/Or General: Ring The Bells With Cale Sexton
The Federation Bells are an installation location in Birrarung Marr that can be heard daily. There’s an accompanying website that lets anyone compose music for the Federation Bells by downloading a sample pack. But Cale Sexton was lucky enough to go the extra mile after being approached by Miles Brown, Curator of Musical Instruments at the City of Melbourne, to perform a live show on the Bells. The tracks he wrote for that performance have recently been released as a record entitled
Sustain.
Cale chats to Jas about the mechanical process of writing for the Bells and being part of the ten year release for Butter Sessions.

Cale Sexton with his new release
Sustain.
City of Melbourne,
Sustain is a composition of computer-controlled bells and electronics, featuring the Federation Bells of Melbourne. One of Melbourne’s most exquisite art installations, The Bells have been used to produce music by various international composers over the years.
On
Sustain, Sexton expands his hardware-led approach to integrate with the computer-controlled Bells sequencing interface, producing a remarkably congruent synthesis of musical technologies.
On the album, Cale says:
Sustain evolved as a somewhat subconscious practice. Each song or part was put together with the intention that the repetition of the bells would be meditative or calming to a point that they blend in with the other elements of the music to create one big sonic picture rather than a juxtaposition.
