Scratchy microphone ruffle

Here we have a recording that turned me on to the possibilities of sound:
it was found on a friend’s hard drive, and he’d clearly recorded it as he was walking home one night.
There is a wonderful percussive element from cloth rubbing the microphone; I also like the section
when the truck goes by, distorting the entire recording. Despite the fact that it was all digital,
I find it very pleasant. The recording is not edited in any way

The experience of first hearing it was a transformative moment: because none of us knew what it was, we all paid close attention; I tried to imagine the scenarios and visualize the locations based only on the sonic information. It was vivid and intense, and I hope that you can hear it that way as well.
