4' 33" - Minneapolis, USA @ 3pm CDT

Movement One - 4'33''

The loud hum of a stationary train motor and the hum of a nearby factory
The buzz of a fly flying by
The tweets of birds in the distance
A truck engine just revved; the squeak of an engine, a honk, the sputter of steam
The hum of the train/factory
Tweet--two birds dancing in the air together
End of Movement One

Movement Two - 2'00''

Tweets
A (air)plane overhead--almost directly
Hum
Tweet
Clanking of metal on metal
End of Movement Two

Movement Three - 0'43''

Car engine starts, another louder one, a truck motor starts. Sputter of a muffler, a motorcycle starts
A beeping, like a toy clarinet.
A plane directly overhead
Wind
Hum
Tweet
End of Movement Three

I thought it was beautiful! Probably the best performance I've heard to date. I liked sitting outside and hearing the contrast between nature and industry. I kind of felt like I was listening to an "island of nature," with the sounds of industry surrounding it (even from overhead). Very cool.
