Recording the Border
A fence between Israel and Egypt, along highway 12, in the Eilat mountains. Standing nearby, we noticed that the wind was so strong that the razors on the barbed wire made clear, high pitched, percussive sounds.
Carefully placing microphones inside, we captured six minutes directly to disc. Listening back to the results after dinner last night, Vance joked, “Who would have ever thought that barbed wire had musical properties.”
