This is a sleeping pill. Listen to it as quietly as you possible can. Mainly two things are going on at once. One is a metaphor. Buoy - an anchored marker that maps the passing waves. Boringly singular, but never the same twice. There for you in a storm. The other is an environment. A sleep over, early morning light across the room - a screen door occasionally whispers as someone moves about. light fingers touch something. Curled in a cosy corner friends near by at the edge of sleep.
  
  The is the first in a trilogy of ambient records by DJ Olive for Room40.
  
  recorded dec '03 during sunrise. written and produced by gregor asch aka dj olive the audio janitor (c)&(p)g.asch 2004

DJ OLIVE: BUOY

DJ Olive's seminal sleep session was originally recorded and compiled in late 2001 and circulated amongst friends and on an Australian tour as a CDr. The disc shares the same sentiments as Buoy and exposes DJ Olive's talents at crafting gently shifting spatial ambience. Rich textures and deep tone are carefully intermixed and combined with Olive's unique turntable style. The results are quite simply spellbinding - epic, with a markedly personal sensibility.

DJ OLIVE: SLEEP

How does one truly explain the work of The Humble Bee? 

I have thought about that question many a late night and to this day I still find it difficult to put together a definitive answer...

It's more than just music when Craig enters the studio; It's mysterious, fragile and most importantly it comes from the mans soul! 

This fifty minute piece made exclusively for Fluid Radio's Underexposed sessions perfectly encapsulates what words could never express.

*******************************

Some background information from Craig...

"It started with me booking a week’s holiday in Cornwall, in November staying in a lovely converted railway carriage (something I have wanted to do for ages now).

The plan for the week was to spend time making and collecting things, responding to what the area had to offer.

This, for me turned out to be light and sound...

I suppose it was the fact that although these two things were the essence of the place, they were at the same time constantly in a state of flux, changing from one moment to the next.

I found this duality intriguing, I think it was the fact that it was at once permanent and yet ephemeral that stimulated and directed the work.

The week became a documentation of these things, of tides, of weather, of light, of the sounds.

I made maps, plotted coast lines, developed scores from fleeting things; the rain on the window, the barbed wire against the sky, the tidal marks in the sand, things that would come and go and change with the place.

I came back home with several videos, field recordings, photographs, found scores, collected colour palettes, lumen prints and rust prints from metal plates I’d left at the will of the currents and weather.

This lot was all used as my starting point for the audio.

The field recordings and the audio captured from the videos were the first things I worked with, arranging them chronologically and leaving space for the found scores to slot in between.

Once these were in place the rest of the space in the piece was left for me to fill with my response to what I had experienced, the existing audio and what I had collected and brought home."
