Instrumentation: beliebige Anzahl SpielerInnen, SängerInnen (mindestens 1), beliebige Instrumente
- There must be at least 1 performer and 1 instrument (also voice);
all instruments are optional.
- The piece consists only in breathing;
no sound should be played, no words spoken.
- The piece must start with a natural breathing in or breathing out.
- The piece must end with a natural breathing in or breathing out, however,
the breathing should stop being audible 1 minute before the end of the piece, i.e. at 7’46’’.
- If there are more than 1 performers the breathing can be choreographed,
but it’s length, rhythm and dynamics should not be synchronized.
- The breathing should slow down toward 7’46’’;
the slowing down can start any time after 7’.
- The breathing can be amplified by microphones; it’s loudness should however not surpass a natural sense of dynamics.
