When I was recording this album and recording a new song, I never knew how the song would end and how its end result would sound.
When I recorded this song, I lived in a tiny room in North Vancouver. It had room for a single bed, a desk, a chair, and a bookcase. In the space created between the bookcase and the bed, I placed the amplifier.
Above it, the electric guitar was stored in its hard case. Behind the room door, I placed the acoustic guitar. Whenever I wanted to play the guitar or record a new song, I had to maneuver and make room for an amplifier.
Everything was crowded and small, with no ability to move. I recorded the whole album and other songs added to other albums in less than two crowded months in this little room.
When I started recording this song, I looked for a unique solo piece while imagining a beehive in the middle of honey production. The guideline is to track the bee activity inside the hive and create a particularly dense sound exactly according to the hive’s classic activity without adding an external effect.
I called the song “Beehive,” a direction and hive that symbolizes the diligence of small insects that manage to create pure honey in a tiny place, which is the task of their lives.
This solo illustrates what I was trying to describe.
I hope that from listening to this song, you will discover new worlds and new insights that you were dormant about before – for me, it always works.
