Lonesome Spring Frolic

Piece based on prehensile-tailed porcupine by Michelle Breslin.
"Being in isolation and away from the woods conjured up the memory of being free in the sun, and imagining the porcupine, enjoying the early moments of spring. I would have loved to have a recorded porcupine, but I think that might be a very unlikely field recording for me to have the luck to be there at the right time. I relied on some other field recording that I've done, to add some texture and a sense of place."
