It’s difficult to improve on anything Emily does. But one can interpret. Once I searched the archives it was clear we’ve done this before: events dedicated to fire and recovery. History we are doomed to repeat?

So, a phoenix, then. I found no local samples of fire itself, which I wanted for this. Accordingly, credit to the recordists of freesound—where 3,843 sounds are tagged with “fire” as of 2020-02-24!—as follows:

“Fire Crackle and Flames 002” cc0 by FractalStudios @ https://freesound.org/s/363092/
“fire2.wav” cc0 by tc630 @ https://freesound.org/s/47835/
“Bonfire Being Lit” cc0 by samararaine https://freesound.org/s/186374/
“Another Fire” cc0 by AngriestBrad @ https://freesound.org/s/495894/
“Fire.wav” cc0 by ken778 @ https://freesound.org/s/386751/
“FIREPLACE” ccBY by leosalom @ https://freesound.org/s/234288/

Many are cc0, but why not give credit? And one is actually a “fire loop made by crumpling wax paper”, and how great is that?
