At one point yesterday there were three sirens going off within the vicinity of the old domicile (for those that don't know, yesterday was one of those "Midwestern weather" days). We had the patio door open to hear the sirens (and the storm) and there my dorky ass was listening to the sirens phase in and out of each other and the pitch interactions between passings.
I suppose the best part is that I can tell you that none of them were moving at the same speed, either, so the phasing changed with each pass. It was awesome! The storms were great, too, for those of us that (luckily) only had to watch.

i want some good thunderstorm pics.
i've still only ever seen one funnel cloud...and it would never have touched down the way the weather was.
some good lightning.
that's one thing i miss from the plains.
and yes, that is pretty dorky. it's okay though.
Yeah, we had some thunderstorms all the way over here. Of course, it only happens at night. Lightning is awesome. That would be one thing I'd miss about the flatlands.
Yes, you are a dork. And maybe a little bi-curious too...just an observation!
You should write a piece for 12 sirens and kazoo (with optional tape).
Don't tempt me!!!
How about this:
12 voices being manipulated by computers imitating sirens with kazoos (different sizes, of course), wind machine and tape obbligato
That's in the idea book!
Whilst we're on the subject, how would one notate and score a part for "Cat Being Swung By Tail"? Hmm...
