Breathing Room

Hildegard Westerkamp

Breathing Room has been performed in Amsterdam, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Guelph, Istanbul, Milan, Mons, Montréal, San Francisco, San Luis Potosí and Vancouver…

This is the second in a series of Breathing Room pieces. Music as breath-like nourishment. Breathing as nourishing musical space. The breath — my breath — is heard throughout the three minutes. All sorts of musical/acoustic things happen as I breathe in and out. Each breath makes its own, unique statement, creates a specific place in time. Meanwhile the heart beats on, propelling time from one breath to the next.
