Wolfgang Buttress: Making Music With Bees

Mary Anne Hobbs

Available for over a year

British artist Wolfgang Buttress tells Mary Anne why he decided to make music with forty thousand bees. His British Pavilion at the 2015 Milan Expo was a giant hive bringing attention to the plight of the honeybee. The soundtrack - released as Be 'One' on Rivertones - is the sound of a dialogue between bee and human, with help from Jason Pierce and Youth.
