"Buzzwords" is a sound sculpture installation of large illuminated paper wasp nests hand-made of fabric and paper-mache, which were originally suspended from under a large oak tree, newly created for the 2021 Autumn Lights Festival in Oakland, CA, USA.

The hive cells of the wasp-nest glow, and downward-directed small speakers hidden in the nest emit a chorus of human beings imitating the sounds of wasps, bees, cicadas, and other insects.

Soundscapes:
Bees
Crickets
Cicadas
Mosquitos
Bumbles
Katydids
Hoverflies
Ants

This is a cover of a song by Laziest Men On Mars. The original (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E0ot9iJm_k) is fantastic. 

Recording an old-time version of it has made me very happy. All the lyrics except the bit about Pigovians are from the original.
