Music Made with Bees

I wanted to see how far I could take the recordings of bees into the realm of music. The bee produces about 200-230 wing flaps pr. second, which is enough to generate a nice, rich sounding buzz. I recorded a bunch of bee sounds and manipulated them through a variety of tools (including timefreezers, delays, filters, glitch modules etc). I then decided to add some more human elements to it (vocals, guitars, grooves etc) and wrapped it up by adding full symphony orchestra and choirs on it during the end.

Besides the bee sounds - the majority of samples are coming from the tonehammer.com sample catalog.

Hope you enjoy it. Einstein once predicted that the human race would survive no more then 4 years after the extinction of bees due to their keystone role in the entire ecosystem.

Peace out to all the bees and bumbles.

note to self : watching this while wearing headphones is not a good idea, as I toss mine across the room thinking there was actually a bee in my ear.

@syferislv Hi, its a zoom H4N i have one under £300 new, you will need to get a better windshield though for £25 approx. The H4N is awesome its the best handheld on the market for capturing true sound. Have a look at thomann website, you can listen to lots of handheld recorder demos, including the H4N, you ill be suprised how it sounds ALOT better than ones twice its price. I love mine its lots of fun with rewarding results.

CHRIST AMID US!

1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Psalm 1. ( fragment ).

Just to say Hallo!

Slobodan.
