For recording, a flower attached to the mic attracted some hover flies while others preferred paper petals taped to the end of it.
We looped various buzzes to construct a drone somewhat reminiscent of a hurdy gurdy.
Sax solo heavily influenced by Nusrat Fatah Ali Kahn.
Our garden hover flies buzz tunefully in D and required no pitch processing.
