Storm in a Birch Tree

An experimental use of "plate mics" to record the sounds of my birch tree during today's storm. The mics are 150mm squares of thin alloy with a piezo element epoxied in the middle. A wire goes from low on the trunk to the bottom of the first plate. A wire from the top of this plate to the bottom of the second plate is a link and a wire from the top of the second plate goes up over a high branch and back down to the trunk. The rig is stretched tight to resonate with the rain and wind. Two unbalanced mic cables run 20 metres to the kitchen window so I can record in the dry and warm. This works surprisingly well but using the mains adapter on the MixPre causes a lot of hum so the power bank is used. I am trying to record a different version of reality. MixPre 6 II with the plate mic rig as described. 32 bit x 48khz which needed limiting to fit the peaks into 24 bit so take care if listening with headphones.
