HIVE as a project was commissioned and produced by Works and Process at the Guggenheim NYC and coproduced by Wordless Music. The first incarnation premiered at the Guggenheim Museum in March 2013 in New York City.

Though HIVE1 is broken up as individual pieces, it is meant to be listened to as one work. Mastered to preserve dynamics - play loud!
