Flute . Electronics . Piano
Between Breaths explores the quiet, complicated space between holding on and letting go. It is a reflection on change, longing, uncertainty, and the difficult process of accepting that something can be meaningful to us and still not be meant to continue. Might it be the loss of possibility, the relationship that never quite became what it could have been, the place we loved but could no longer remain, or the version of our lives we once imagined.

Through acoustic and electronic sound worlds,
the programme moves through
unfamiliarity,
intimacy,
darkness,
restlessness,
and reflection,
gradually finding its way towards
warmth and stillness.
