A binaural recording of a strawberry field on a hill near the ferry in Dawson City at about 7pm on July 20, 2023. This is where I was when I found out I had endometrial cancer, the day before this recording. There are sounds of the ferry coming and going across the Yukon River, swallows, dogs, ravens, flies, plane, wind. There is also a strange kind of phantom sound like small steps in the background. I don't know what that is. But as I've been listening to it getting prepared for this posting, it feels like a kind of heartbeat, maybe my own, maybe some other kind of rhythm nearby. At the end of this recording you'll hear my own voice speaking to the experience of hearing that I have cancer. I am posting this more than a month after that day so I am no longer that person; but it's a nice record of that state in time.

Start: 18:58
End: 19:12
