Recordist's notes
I know this old willow tree from my teens. It was looking monstrous even then and now, after all years, the tree is starting to fall apart. Several gigantic branches are broken and lay on the ground. It's dangerous to stand under the willow in windy days because you don't know what branch will break and fall down. Maybe some day I will not find the willow standing, so today I have recorded it in the wind. Just placed small mics in the cracks in the bark....
