In this performance, I was experimenting with the possible scales and movements of my breath in sound. The breath traveled from within my body to the interior space of a weather balloon, and then expanded outward into the larger environment through quadraphonic speakers.
A DIY speaker module placed beneath the weather balloon created a space within a space, which is an acoustic chamber that held and transformed the sound of my breath.
Through this setup, I explored how breath could move across boundaries, shift in scale, and reshape the spatial experience of listening.
