Bee Pop – Prologue

BEE-POP-A-LULA!

We have been fascinated by bees forever. But what did we really know about them? Ok, there’s the stuff with the birds and the bees, we all love the yummy syrup known as honey and fear the bee’s sting. (Since we have all made first-hand acquaintance with it back then, barefoot in childhood days.)

It was late autumn 2011 when we first came up with the idea of connecting more closely with the life of the honey bee. We wanted to do some research, collect sounds on location in and around the hives. The aim was to produce an entire album based on field recordings. — mehr —

Bee-Pop-A-Lula, you’re my honey! Zwei Dirigenten und gut 100.000 Musiker – solch ein großes Orchester gab es wohl noch nie zuvor in der Geschichte des Field Recording. Die beiden Künstler Paul Divjak und Wolfgang Schlögl (aka I-Wolf) bilden zusammen das Team Tool Time, verpflichtet der angewandten Klangforschung an der Schnittstelle zwischen Alltag und Kunst. Für das erste Album des Teams wurde im Sommer 2012 der Lebensraum der Apis mellifera, also der westlichen Honigbiene besucht.

Bee Pop – Making of

Bee Pop – Making of [A, 2012, Duration: 9:44]
Directed by: Gerald Schober/visualsuspects

Paul Divjak und Wolfgang Schlögl haben unter dem Namen “Team Tool Time” die europäische Honigbiene – Apis mellifera – erforscht, die Arbeitsabläufe der Imker, wie auch den gesamten Lebenszyklus der Arbeitsbienen begleitet – und sind in die Klangwelt eines Bienenstocks eingetaucht. Das Summen, Brummen und Werken – direkt in den Bienenstöcken wurde aufgenommen und im Studio mit digitaler Feinelektronik zu einem faszinierenden Bienen-Soundtrack weiterverarbeitet.

Paul Divjak and Wolfgang Schlögl are “TEAM TOOL TIME”. This summer they dedicated their work to the Apis Mellifera – the european honey bee, by recording the whole sound spectrum of the life of the bees, as well as the work of the bee keepers …
