A contact mic embedded chainfall is used to pull a crushed wheel from an unknown vehicle out of a basin, becoming the resting place for six dead birds. After excavating them from a rectangular patch of sand, each one is venerated with a short noise (mimicking the bird’s call) before being placed in the nest.
