A key part of the UK Pavilion experience is an immersive soundscape: a collaboration between human and honey bee.  Accelerometers (vibration sensors) are placed within a real beehive in Nottingham UK, measuring the energy of the bee colony and converting this to digital signals.  These signals trigger noise gates at particular thresholds, opening sympathetic harmonious stems pre-recorded by musicians. The result is a constantly changing and evolving symphony between bee and human.  Cellos and vocals were recorded live on the first take while listening to a live stream of bee sounds on 12.02.15.

The musicians and producers play and record with Spiritualized, Sigur Rós, Soulsavers, The Orb, The Verve and Spring Heel Jack and many others.
