Exercises in Breathing I
Audiovisual work
Concept
Exercises in Breathing I explores breathing as both a physical gesture and a structure for audiovisual performance. The work focuses attention on a quiet, involuntary rhythm and turns it into an active part of the musical experience.
The performance uses Breath Work, a new interface and instrument developed for the piece. The connection between breath, sound, and image makes the performer’s embodied action part of the work’s musical form.
