The soundscape for the UK Pavilion Milan Expo 2015 created by the musical collective BE which consists of an adapted version of the UK Pavilion soundscape.
The original concept was to create a soundscape activated by live-streamed signals from a beehive in Nottingham. These signals triggered noise gates at particular thresholds activating harmonious stems from a pre-recorded library. To create this library a live feed of beehive sounds was played while musicians improvised an accompaniment in the key of C.
These recordings formed a framework for the main tracks. This resulted in a constantly changing and evolving symphony - a dialogue between bee and human. Also includes a set of art prints in a picture sleeve with a separate embossed print in another sleeve which has been dated hand numbered and signed by English artist Wolfgang Buttress with an 130-page softback book housed in a matching hand numbered die-cut heavy card embossed slipcase!)
