Sonic Journal EP23: Bike Mic v2 - Hill Climb

This episode is a slightly augmented version of a squelchy hill climb which i captured while out on the trails in a muddy January earlier this year / 2023. I wanted to continue the experimentations i started back in Episode 8, focused on placing miniature microphones on a mountain bike in an unobtrusive way to enable sound capture of a reasonable quality. This time i introduced a stereo pair of mics mounted on the handlebars, in addition to the single mic placed behind the lower seat post. I'm quite happy with this test as it enabled my voice to be clearly captured, some spatial feel of what was around the bike, and the mechanics. Wind was there at points although manageable. Of course this isn’t the end of the Bike Mic journey, but certainly a step in a good direction. Enjoy!
