Wind is such a mixed bag. In a lot of ways it's like doing a contact mic re=
cording of an object that you activate with another object (e.g. drum & dru=
m stick / steel spring & small hammer / wire fence & grasses). With wind as=
your activator, everything takes on a tone of its own. =0D

Yes, record wind at the top of the mountain. Yes, record it at the bottom.=
Record it in the eaves of the cabin. Record it in the branches of the tree=
s. Record it in the crevices of the rocks. Wherever you find a neat sound, =
the answer's yes. For me wind is a lot like rivers and waves. Every time I =
record it I can't help thinking, "Well THAT's different."=0D

P.S. To tie back into the previous discussion of parabolics, I just record=
ed wind in a koa tree using a parabolic mic. You can hear each leaf clatter=
ing against its neighbor. No wrong way to record wind.=0D

sound is worth a thousand pictures." R. Murray Schafer via Bernie Krause.
