Material + transition works with the material-sound possibilities of breath prior to the emergence of language: in breath, out breath, vibrating breath, tonal breath, sound generated through forming and changing of the cavities through which breath moves. The compositional structure involves deep listening, progressive, embedded transitions and ‘melding’ of sounds – so displacing the individual voice.
Co-created and performed with Rosanna Irvine.
Material + transition was presented as part of the Breath Pieces performance installation at Tramway in June 2018. Video excerpt on Vimeo here.
