Most cars I am familiar with has there various windshield wiper speeds and usually one that wipes occasionally. My car here has the normal back and fourth with escalating velocities as well as five different setting to change the gap time for said occasional wipe. This is a great setup for Iceland due to the many layers of wetness one will drive through. Not only have I used all five settings many times, I have become a master at picking the correct setting based on the water collection. Light fog. Thick fog. Drizzle. Erratic gusts. Splash back. There is nothing I cannot handle.
Although these settings do not go back and fourth like a metronome, each still has a tempo of its own. After a week of driving in rain I have found myself composing different songs for each setting complete with bass, melody, counter points, and solos. It’s a five piece symphony in my head constructed out of boredom and the need to see clearly.
If I ever run out of bad ideas... I may resort to writing an album inspire by windshield wiper blades entitled - Songs For The Moist.
