Walking home from
work the other evening – headphones on and lost in thought – I suddenly caught
the distant sound of bird chatter. I tore off my headphones and stood alert in
the night street, assured that those sounds of nature were separate from the music, but all I could detect was a dull wind. Unsurprisingly, I relocated
the chirps of winged things after returning to my iPod, the upcoming Ulrich
Schnauss album and a field recording nestled in the silence between tracks that
I’d never heard before.
A kind of
embarrassing tale to admit, given that we’re stuck in the darkest month of a
Canadian winter, but it’s also fascinating to acknowledge how stretches of one
season can make us long for even the finest details of another. With regards to
hearing bird chatter at night, we residents of the globe’s northern reaches have
a few months yet to wait, so why not embrace the cold with Skeleton Crew
Quarterly’s latest winter recommendations?
Less than two months
to go…
