'H' Sounds

Se puede oír los granos de maíz explotando y saltando adentro de un paquete de palomitas. También los zumbidos y los pitos del microondas son audibles. (You can hear kernels of popcorn popping and jumping inside a popcorn bag. The humming and beeping of the microwave are also audible.)
Brushing my own tangled thick long hair with a Conair hard bristle hair brush in a small room recorded and edited on Logic Pro x with mac book pro.
The sound recording is of a hair drier. At the end there is the sound of the hair drier turning off.
In this recording, acclaimed author Edwidge Danticat shares what she describes as "crisis sounds" specific to Haitian culture and Haitian Kreyól.
