Recordist's notes
Contact microphone recording of two flagpoles standing next to each other. Four microphones were attached to the cables that are holding the flags, that are highly transmissive of every tiny movement of the flag. Changing direction and strength of the wind results in a vast variety of micro movements, resulting in a jagged and ever-changing soundscape. Recorded using ZOOM H5.
