This piece is an exploration of the timbre and syntax of breath. Not the kind breath known for allowing life but the far too close and far too intimate breath that lends itself to the creation of a formally unsettling piece. Every sound heard in this piece is a manipulation of samples of my own breath and body. This adds to the semioticly encoded sense of foreboding intimacy, as although many of the sounds are aggressive and foreign, their underlying source is clear and at times very disconcerting to the general listening public. If you have ever wanted to experience me whispering in your ear, now is the chance.
