Recording on this 18 minute piece started in 1992 and were finished in 1995. It was not released until now, because we couldn’t find the right package for it. Now it is presented in dark green paper, with silver ink, and a flower printed in black lacq. The 11×11 cm cover is sewn together.
This work, although not made for radio, is very much like a radioplay. It introduces the listener to the work of land artist Richard Long in sound and words. Many natural sounds are used, such crickets, stones, wind, salt, branches along with instruments such as guitars, metronome. Two voices, one male and one female recite texts by Richard Long. One is the ‘100 Tors’ text and the other ‘Long Stones’ – adapted by Freek Kinkelaar. Both these texts appear on the front cover.

Beequeen is a duo with Freek Kinkelaar and Frans de Waard. They exist since 1988 and have a variety of vinyl and CD’s available (two of them on Staalplaat). Their music is called by others ‘ambient industrial’, but is much more based on musique concrete with their own added twitch to it. ‘Long Stones & Circles’ is probably their most mature work to date.
