Breathing PwRHm by Tina Pearson is a new development of a work commissioned by the Deep Listening® Foundation. An electronic work for live performance, it explores two facets of multi-user 3D environments: presence and intimacy between visceral, virtual and telepathic worlds; and the electric hum – the voice of the power grids that make it possible for us to connect in this way. Sonically, it explores the relationship of the Alternating Current (AC) of the North American (60 Hz) and European/Asian (50 Hz) electric systems through two sets of sine tones representing the harmonic series of the two ACs. The result is a slowed down world of just-intonation harmonies, beat frequencies, and microtone textures as the two systems meet inside a natural minor third. In performance, the remotely located performers’ individual breath rhythms determine the timing and pacing of tones they each play; the Europeans’ cue is their exhale, the North Americans’ cue is their inhale. Enhancing the breath theme, the lower sine tones have a duration approximating a slow human breath cycle. This breath-centred performance practice simultaneously focuses and extends the players’ attention while providing temporal structure and pacing for the piece. Globes held by the avatars are 'receivers' that emit differently coloured particles according to their particular AC instrument, and the pitch and volume of the specific sounds they each play in real time. Avatar animations, choreography, real time conducting, and the telematic symbiosis of the globally dispersed players create a kind of surreal entrainment inside the wired worlds that power our connectivity, and point to its precariousness - the electronic sounds pass through the ethernet with periodic glitches, computer malfunctions, latency and other technical and serendipitous factors that make the performance of the piece unpredictable.

Recorded from a performance broadcast simultaneously with Digital Shift (Independent Media Arts Alliance), Digital Arts Resource Centre (Ottawa), MediaNet (Victoria) and Manifestations 2020, Eindhoven, Netherlands, October 2020.
