“Breathe new life” is a soundscape that metaphorically expresses a psychological state of feeling trapped and finally having a breakthrough. It transports listeners through 3 stages, an inner state of mind, which then slips into the subconscious and then abruptly breaks out of it. Exploring water as an element to express emotions, it starts off by navigating listeners through layers of sounds to depict walking through a forest with waterfall representing the inner state and then to a subjective sound of holding breath underwater to represent subconscious, followed by back to reality.
