Breath was realized in the electroacoustic studio of McGill University in May 1999. It is comprised of a collection of sounds recorded with many different levels of recording quality (from portable cassette to studio recorded DAT). The sounds were collected from three sources: random street noise, found objects, and studio recorded voice. Breath is a piece that juxtaposes tension and release. The ebb and flow of my life as it swings from chaos to stability. Tense, relax. Breath in breath out. Wax on, wax off.
