I'm looking for a recording of this text:

Beneath the level of the note lies the realm of microsound, of sound particles.

Microsonic particles remained invisible for centuries. Recent technological
advances let us probe and explore the beauties of this formerly unseen world.

Microsonic techniques dissolve the rigid bricks of music architecture; andthe notes into a more
liquid and supple medium. Sounds may coalesce, evaporate, or mutate into other sounds.

The sensations of point, pulse , line, and surface texture,
appear as the density of particles increases.

Sparse emissions leave rhythmic traces. When the particles line up in rapid succession,
they induce the illusion of tone continuity that we call pitch.

As the particles meander, they grow into streams and rivulets. Dense agglomerations of particles form swirling sound clouds, whose shapes evolve over time.

I'm thinking read in a calm, serene tone of voice, or as an old video-docu narration style.

No need to do post processing, that's part of my job.
I will of course notify you if anything would be used in a composition.

Kevin, please do!

it's an interesting text as it's actually the foreword of a very dry and technical/scientific dissertation on audio processing techniques, but it has a rather poetic vibe to it. I thought it'd be fun to use it as source material to actually apply some of those techniques on, and use it in the intro of a song.

I actually tried reading this a while back but wasn't satisfied with the take.
Since I am about to record some closed-mouth humming (to make a chromatic humming sample library), I'll give this another try as well...

Well, here ya go, hah. https://freesound.org/people/strangehorizon/sounds/661845/
