Artist Sarah Peebles has installed three new bee listening booths ("Audio Bee Booths") in Ontario and Alberta, Canada. The listening booths are "amplified habitat installations": units that allow observers to see and hear (via headphones) solitary bees and wasps in their habitat. A full explanation can be found here.

The new booths can be found at the Ontario Tree Museum (as part of the Items May Shift exhibition, which opens on 11 September), Ontario's Greenway Blooming Centre (permanently installed), and at Calgary Zoo.

Audio Bee Booths are part of an ongoing project on Canadian pollinators by Peebles called Resonating Bodies. Watch a video of a listening booth in action below:

Adventures In Modern Music this week cracks open a dusty crate of South Asian vinyl with DJ, writer, promoter and musician Chris Menist. Based in Bangkok for the last two and a half years, Menist is behind compilations for Soundway (Sound Of Siam), Finders Keepers (Thai? Dai!) and Dust To Digital, and is one of the men behind the Isan Dancehall and Paradise Bangkok nights in the Thai capital. He also writes the originalpress365 blog, tracking his varied adventures through crate archaeology, local cuisine, khat, oral history and folklore from Asia and beyond.

Now back in the UK, he'll be playing music from two forthcoming compilations on Dust To Digital of Yemeni and Vietnamese 45s, as well as exotic wares picked up from markets, stalls and backstreets the world over, and talking to Derek Walmsley about the life of an itinerant crate digger. Warning – may contain scratches.

In its 35th year in business Dub Vendor in Clapham is to close its doors for the last time. During the London riots the shop next door was burnt down, and as a result Dub Vendor suffered some flood damage to its basement. The decision to close on 10 September however, is not solely down to the recent damage to the store.

Dub Vendor, like most small record shops, says it has felt the pressure of the shifting digital economies, and having a physical store no longer seems feasible. Founder John MacGillivray told the Independent: "The kids over here, it's nothing new to them. Their perception is that it's their mum and dad's music and it doesn't define them in the way it defined previous generations… The music has moved in a different direction… In Jamaica the music has moved away from where most people in the UK would find it relevant to them. Our passion is in selling music, not selling patties. We've got to get real."

Dub Vendor will continue to sell music online through DubVendor.co.uk, which has been under the stewardship of Lol Bell-Brown for just over a decade. Dub Vendor will be celebrating its 35th birthday on 2 September at London Music bar, with sets from the Dub Vendor All Stars (Papa Face, Oxman, Supa Selecta C, Gaffa Blue, Russ Disciple, Warrior) and Vibes FM's Roberto Allen.

William Baskinski's Wordless Music Orchestra will play new orchestral transcriptions of Disintegration Loops 1.1 by Antony & The Johnsons's Maxim Moston in New York's Temple Of Dendur to mark the tenth anniversary of 9/11. The video counterpart to the Disintegration Loops will be permanently installed in the 9/11 memorial museum, and the performance will be simulcast on NPR.

Moston says: "The Disintegration Loops is for me a tender homage to the beauty of decay and transience. While the original is a document of a piece of recorded music literally falling to pieces and dissolving into silence, what I wanted to do with my orchestration is to notate as precisely as I could the dissolution of a musical idea and to harness the instincts of the musicians to collectively feel a slight hesitation as it evolves into a pause, and that into a fermata, and that into a rest."

The performance is part of a day long programme of events, Remembering September 11, which also includes works by Ingram Marshall, Osvaldo Golijov, and Alfred Schnittke. For the full line up of events head here. New York Metropolitan Museum Of Art, 11 September, 3:30pm, free with museum admission.
