breathers follows up on my previous E-Vironments projects, which were focused on exploring imaginary ecosystems, re/defining the contexts and behavioral patterns between individual components embodied in these environments and investigating their certain inner fragilities.
the composition is mainly based on visceral, bodily sounds, juxtaposing and intertwining them with references to current ecological and social topics, evoking a sense of ambiguity raising more complex personal questions.
breathers was originally created as a single composition in eight parts, corresponding to the different tracks of this release. nevertheless, the piece is intended as a whole.
