Recording outdoors requires specific equipment to protect microphones from wind and shock (wind cages, pocket booms...).
This equipment is available on the professional market, often at high prices. We'll look at how to build some effective DIY alternatives with a little imagination, time and a limited budget.
In practice:
- building a windscreen for Oktava MK012, Neuman KM184 type microphones
- building a "universal" windscreen for a mono or stereo single-body microphone (AT8022 type)
- building a pocket boom
For

François Wong
musician
As an improviser, he collaborates with numerous musicians in the course of ephemeral or regular encounters, and in 2016 co-founded Grand8, the long-term construction of a large improvised music ensemble without conductor. In small groups, he develops solos, currently playing with Heard Of Bears (+ Vincent Lajü, Ed Williams), H-ordes (+ Pôm Bouvier, Catherine Jauniaux). Improvisation is also a field of performance with dance, in the form of sessions or encounters with the EMIR-Barre Phillips company, the dancers of the Julyen Hamilton company, the CEPI. Researcher and composer, he has been experimenting with the electrification of the saxophone for 15 years, augmenting it - depending on the situation - with physical machines, software, multipoint diffusion or a guitar/bass amp. Using this device, he regularly performs on stage with his solo Agartha (piece for saxophone and electronics, GMEM production), e-SaxBow (+ Florent Colautti, e-String), the !BONG! duo (+ Olivier Bost, ARFI), and transdisciplinary projects (video, theater). He also works in the field of electro-acoustic music and writes acousmatic pieces. A close collaboration with Isabelle Courroy (kaval flutes) has enabled him to compose mixed and real-time pieces for kaval and electronics since 2018 (latest project Un Eloge de l'Oblique, commissioned by the Chaillol 2020 festival). He carries out writing and recording residencies at La Muse en Circuit (CNCM-Alfortville), GRIM (Marseille), GMEA (CNCM-Albi) and GMEM (CNCM-Marseille).
