Apoidea (Sketch 2) - Benjamin Dauer fea. Michelle Magdalen
For this next track we are focusing our attention on the bees (honey & mason). With the dramatic decline in honey bee populations, there is intensive research going on about the possibility of ‘replacing’ them w/the mason bee. This is not as altruistic as it sounds given that there are huge economic factors at play.
This song explores the quiet anguish of what it might be like to be forced, uncontrollably, into obsolescence.
This sketch (#2) features poetry by Michelle.
For those following along, Michelle and I are working towards a concept benefit album for the pollinators (butterflies, bees, bats, birds). All proceeds from sales will be donated to organizations working to preserve and protect these species.
If this is your first time listening, you can find our first song (Aurelia) for the butterflies here: Aurelia.
As always, thank you for listening and we hope you enjoy the song. Please share.
