Dream of Bees
After making the basic compositions of the Sand Waves pieces, I wondered if I could pare down everything to some final simple elements. I had a track that was about 10 minutes of some very busy bees working some flowers in a hawthorn copse not far from the ruin of St. Petroc's Chapel. I left the microphone with the bees for 11 minutes or so, and had more or less forgot about it. I had written a simple piano movement that I though would go well with something like the sound of walking, but while was looking for a walk recording I rediscovered the bees. So I listened to them and rewrote the key progressions, tempo and rhythm to the sound of their activity.
