A Bell for Every Minute on the High Line

To construct his installation, A Bell for Every Minute, Stephen Vitiello recorded 59 bells around town, including those found on a cat's collar, in a church, at a diner, on a bike, and at the New York Stock Exchange. One bell chimes (or buzzes or echoes or blasts) every minute. On the hour, however, a cacophony goes off, a raging, not-unpleasant, sonorific explosion, in which individual bells metamorphose into one great noise, the sound of the whole city idiosyncratically ringing.
