I tried to record the sound, but I had no device to allow such a recording to become a reality, so you'll have to imagine it.
Ear placed close to the rim of a bowl,
a hyperactive but gentle,
fizzing sound coming from the dance of cultures.
the wild yeasts fermenting in the thickening mixture of water and flour of rice.
a sound full of crackling excitement.

I am making my first sourdough culture from scratch so that i can make my own bread, it is strange to feel such affection towards, a culture, but it is currently my best friend.
