Thanks! Here's my first pass at it:

Length: 8:19

Let me know if anything needs an edit!
Section 68 sounds great! Just one PL note... could you add the poem's subtitle ("From the Danish") after the disclaimer, before you start reading the poem itself? You can insert it around 0:07-0:08. Thanks!

Thanks all!

Cadastra, you must have better headphones than me or something because I don't hear any buzzing. I've updated 84 - will get to 27 later this week.

PL notes:

Great reading! Did you, by any chance, record this poem in multiple sessions or pause the recording at all during your session? There is a noticeable buzz in the background of the recording, although only in certain sections, not throughout the entire recording. I did listen with my Bose headphones and also compared Section 71 with other recordings you have submitted for this project. I did not notice the buzz in other recordings... so perhaps you might have forgotten a step in post-processing for this recording?

I think this may be a microphone problem. I may need to record it again once the technical issue is fixed. If you don't want to delay the completion of the project, it may be quicker to get someone else to do it.

Hi Julian
Before recording this again I have tried doing some heavier noise cleaning on the existing file (below). Could someone check if this has removed the background noise. I cannot really do this myself as my hearing is deteriorating with age and I can no longer hear high frequencies.
If this is still no good I will record it again.

I didn't hear the original file but this one sounds fine to me, so I'll mark it as PL OK :)
