This episode is quiet on purpose. It's dawn in a courtyard. Pori listens. An ant moves through the moss, a dandelion opens as the sun comes up, a honeybee arrives.
There are no fast cuts and no flashing, and the sound is calm and spatial: with headphones, you can hear where things are. We made it for everyone who needs the internet to be less loud for a minute.
Listening is a way of looking. Many animals are heard before they are seen.

Early in the morning, sit in a quiet courtyard or garden with someone you like. Close your eyes for one minute and count the different sounds. Then open them and find where one sound comes from.
