1- bowed fence post (with barbed wire remains)
2- wind

composed and performed by glenn weyant - 2/21/12
at the buenos aires national wildlife preserve along the border between arizona, usa and sonora, mexico along a ridge in the buenos aries national wildlife refuge (banwr).

there was a time when the pronghorn antelope were plentiful here. however, with settlement came barbed wire fences and the land was bound and quartered, impacting the pronghorn’s traditional migratory routes.

when the banwr was established, most of these old fences were removed and the pronghorn began to rebound.

then in 2006, much of the work was undone when the desert along hte us/mexico border was bladed by the department of homeland security and a sprawling border wall was constructed on the edge of this refuge effectively cutting the pronghorn's migratory route in two.

unlike the simple wire fences, this wall of steel tubes filled with slurry will prove more difficult to remove.

so in honor of the pronghorn, i sound one of the last standing barbed wire posts, pulling out sounds that remind me of the shallow seas and the creatures that once inhabited them land millions of years ago.

i find satisfaction in knowing that if shallow seas can disappear so too can border walls.
