The Bells app depicts a view of striking ancient Chinese two-tone bells surrounded by lattices moving in sync with the string music. Each of the eleven bells have a traditional pattern with a greenish patina that is found on original bronze bells, and each can emit two tones that are 3 semi-tones apart depending on whether they are shown being struck at 0 or a 45 degree angles in the distance, so alltogether they cover the full range of the soundtrack.

The Music Animations for Head Tracking series of apps provide a relaxing form of interactivity where one only needs to look around. Each of the apps provide numerous viewing paths and are designed to run offline so they will give high replay value. These apps provide a view of music that should give one a deeper sense of the structure inherent to baroque music. Many of these animations were created back in the days of wire-frame graphics so they have been tested over the decades against a variety of head-trackers and head-mounted displays. Music catalogue numbers and timing info have been provided here for musicians that may enjoy playing along while immersed-in the geometric animation of the music. Please put your device in Airplane Mode before running this app. This app does not have provisions for use of the controller while running so it is not listed with other Daydream apps.
