This breathing monster is about stilness and the powerful presence of the sound : the apparent stilness of the dancer whose microscopic movements are based on the intense activity of her deep-breathing, and the sheer weight of the sounds produced by the bass as transformed - in real time - by the computer, and also disturbed by the data-noise created by the dancers minimal gestures. During those 50 minutes we are not building a trajectory, nor suggesting an evolution, but being in a state of internal combustion. Not composition but architecture of dust or just one, deep and long, breath.
This piece evolved from a previous work, "The monster which never breathes", which was written for an electronically manipulated pipe organ, dance and which started our research on what we call the "data-noise".
