Day One at ‘La Cité des Insectes‘.  I am here to create a sound installation for their museum.   Although the weather is reasonable today, because is it has been so rainy much of the ambient insect soundscape is very minimal.  The field crickets have stopped singing and there just isn’t the ‘buzz’ one might expect from this time of year.

The lime tree, just outside the museum, however, is in full blossom and as such is a major attractor to the bees, and I’m sure wasps, hornets, and so on.  There must be thousands of these insects in the tree, as there is a constant hum emanating from the branches throughout the day.
