This track was recorded on March 15, 2014 at 1:27 PM with an ambisonic mic in the middle of an organ pipe cactus. This is a recording in ambisonic A format and MS Schoeps. This recording is mostly wind with faint bird chirping scattered throughout. There is human movement and talking at the beginning as the author sets the scene. There are both large gusts of wind and deep rumbles of wind that sound as if it is thunder, or wind brushing against a microphone.

This file contains a large sample of the wind whistling through Organ Pipe Cacti. There are a plethora of instances when the microphone clips from strong winds passing through, all of which have be tagged microphone clipping. There are also some brief instances of birds calling and chirping in the distance.

This recording contains quite a few instances of metal, close by the microphone, clanks together or squeaks, creating a very eerie environment as the wind continues to blow in the distance. A description of the setting is given at the beginning of the recording; it is 8:30PM on the 3rd day of the Listen(n) Project Field Trip on March 11th. The gates to Dripping Spring Road have been locked so the team could not go up the road to record. There are freeways on both sides of the microphone so one can hear rumble from cars everywhere. Towards the end of the recording there are a number of vehicles that become audible and at one instance a car drives up very close to the site of recording, makes a three point turn and turns back down the road.
