about

This is a recording of me breathing for eight minutes 46 seconds, the length of time George Floyd was prevented from breathing when he was being killed by police in Minneapolis. I am breathing through a contra alto clarinet. I make my living by breathing through a clarinet. We all "make our living" by breathing. I wanted to see how much breathing happens in eight minutes 46 seconds. How much life that is. The track is longer than 8 minutes 46 seconds because there is a tape delay on one microphone and I let it play out. This piece is for George Floyd and his family.
