Glenn Weyant plays the wall SASABE, Ariz. — On a windy day in southern Arizona’s remote borderlands, Glenn Weyant had everything he needed to make music — a cello bow, a mallet and the miles-long fence dividing the United States and Mexico. His method, like his music, was improvisational and low-tech: He inserted electronic equipment into an Altoids tin, turning it into a microphone. Weyant filled the tin with magnets and pressed it against the fence a few inches off the ground. Wires attached to the tin led to an amp and several effects pedals — the kind electric guitarists use — which allow him to manipulate sounds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v iGfC0eRAFG4

Desert scrub, mesquite and sun-bleached rocks would serve as his audience; sometimes they do double duty as instruments. “Nobody thought of the border wall as possibly anything other than something to separate people,” he said. “I transform it. I play it.” For eight years, Weyant has tapped, banged and stroked the fence to produce haunting, sometimes ethereal, sounds in a region he has called the “de facto militarized zone.” Compositions can last a minute — or more than half an hour. “I’m a border deconstructionist,” said Weyant, a 50-year-old Tucson resident. “I want to deconstruct preconceived notions. What I’m saying is you don’t need to be afraid of the wall. You have nothing to fear.”

Where do we go from here?
