It has been several years since we visited Paolo Soleri's final home here in Phoenix area. I am enamoured with my Cosanti Bells. I have a stash that I carefully selected for tone and style, but currently... shamefully... set aside, waiting to be put in my back yard for the day it finally gets landscaped. Still not done, I think of all that music I have missed. I really must get them hung.
This place has a very peaceful, almost spiritual presence and is a place to put on your must-see list when in Phoenix. Odd architecture, shaded paths, hidden sculptures. You will appreciate watching artisans making the bells, and who can resist reaching out and making them chime in passing? Many sizes, there are lots for sale, but you can visit for free. It is a magical spot. Honor his creative genius and visit.
