[BREATHE] [WAVE]

Between the Ears

Available for over a year

There’s nothing more cathartic than shouting into gale-force wind, or more “cleansing” than ducking below the surface of the freezing-cold sea. The Victorians were wrong about a lot of stuff (truly, so much stuff), but oh mate, were they were right about the Sea Cure—being on the beach feels great, even, when the weather sucks (especially when the weather sucks?). Blending vocalisation, song, text and field recordings of wind and waves, [BREATHE] [WAVE] is a soundscape that absorbs human noise into the mythic world of the wild coast, and invites you to slow down, reflect, and take a breath. New Creatives is co-funded by Arts Council England and BBC Arts By Elinor Lower Produced by Emma Lazenby
