work for birds planes dogs violin bees wind and washing machine

Work for birds planes dogs violin bees wind and wahing machine is a work for birds planes dogs violin bees wind and wahing machine recorded in one take.

Of interest to me was how many levels of sound exist in this urban section of Tucson and the sonic obliteration passing military jets inflict upon the vibrational tapestry.

But also of interest to me was how the sounds reassemble themselves in the passing jet's wake.

Amazingly The City of Tucson is currently being considered by the U.S. Air Force as a training base for its new F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. This plane will be lounder than any plane currently flying over the city (such as those heard on this recording).
