Forest Swords: Music and Breathing

Mary Anne Hobbs

Available for over a year

Forest Swords aka Matthew Barnes looks at the relationship between breathing and music, following the first performance of his new dance-based piece, 'Shrine'. The piece explores breathing as live musical performance, with the aim of distracting listeners from the consumer-focused excess of everyday life.
