haiku #378: snowflakes gently fall / cold winter’s pale sakura / I envy the birds

Not as well aligned with the subject as I'd planned, but I took a slightly unusual approach. I recorded myself reading the haiku, then used that as my sole sound source (albeit significantly processed). The result is quite interesting, if not exactly as I'd intended.

This track was inspired by the following Haiku:
Snowflakes gently fall,
cold winter's pale sakura -
I envy the birds.

The recording was made on 10th February 2021 on a white, snowy walk. Seeing this Haiku reminded me of that time. It's somewhat fortunate (I still have the recording) and also that the power of the written word can trigger the memory. A random chance then that the words attracted the sound. This is a raw untreated field recording...well apart from the fade out.
