The Glass Bees

The Glass Bees are an experimental, abstract music project based in New York City. We perform and record spontaneous soundscapes and compositions. To learn more about what we do and how we do it, read about our History and Practice.

This website is updated periodically and offers our recorded works for free listening and download. To hear new tracks as soon as they are posted, subscribe to our podcast.

We’d love to connect with you. Find us on MySpace and Facebook. You can also e-mail us at glassbees@glassbees.com.

We encourage you to share, remix, or sample our music for noncommercial purposes; if you use Glass Bees sounds in your work, send us a copy or a link. And if you are a sound, visual, multimedia, or performance artist who likes what you hear, get in touch and let’s make something together.

Performance: Envoy Enterprises, June 26, 2009 · posted 16 June 2009

We will be performing on FRIDAY, JUNE 26 at 8:00 pm at ENVOY ENTERPRISES, 131 Chrystie Street (between Delancey and Broome) on the Lower East Side, NYC.

THIS IS A FREE SHOW!

with very special guest … BLEVIN BLECTUM!

Blevin is an electronic musician who has released many highly regarded recordings. She is also 1/2 of the groundbreaking digital duo Blectum From Blechdom who, in addition to having pretty much the greatest band name ever, won the 2001 Ars Electronica Award of Distinction in Digital Musics for their album “The Messy Jesse Fiesta.” This is like winning a Pulitzer Prize for Electronic Music, folks.

We are so thrilled that Blevin has agreed to make the trip down from weirdbeat Providence, RI, and that this will be happening in a central but off-the-beaten-path venue. Envoy is a contemporary art space with a gallery and a bar. The evening should be nice and intimate, and we’re hoping there will be time for a Bees vs. Blectum collaboration.
