Summary:	Note from the composer, Laura Brackney: "I discovered the carillon one day while taking a walk. I was fascinated by the sound of unseen bells making music that been intentionally composed. I had never heard carillon music before then, and it took me a few days to realize that these sounds came from the University of Texas Tower. After I discovered the source of the music, I contacted the Tower's carillonneur, Austin Ferguson, to learn more about the instrument. The title of the work also refers to my impression that I had just discovered Austin, Texas had a city-sized set of wind chimes hanging in its center. The UT Tower is an important spatial landmark in our city, but not many people know that it also houses the Kniker Carillon. "Austin's Wind Chimes" works to recreate the sound environment of outdoor wind chimes while taking advantage of the many idiosyncrasies of the carillon."
