Flying in Between the Crack (3/13/2009, 16:20)

As I was walking along 6th Street, I really wanted to get water sounds from the bridge. Instead, I heard the sounds of the cars going over the bridge that splits open when boats are coming through. I really like the sound of when a car enters an opening bridge and the transition is very interesting because it happens so fast and then the sound disappears or more cars go through the bridge again. I find that appealing. I chose this title because as I was recording, there were birds flying over the bridge (in between the crack of the bridge) and the sounds of the birds came when there was no traffic present, in the middle of cars going over the bridge and cars going over the bridge, which the birds were crossing the bridge also but airborne. I held the mics with my arms wide open and it was intersting to see how many people would look at me. Listen here.
