about

In Kevin Huizenga's graphic novel "Glenn Ganges in the River at Night", the protagonist attends a TED talk during which the idea of the "two minute mind" is discussed - the speaker asks the audience to remain quiet while counting fifty breaths. The idea of this exercise is to begin reconfiguring the sense of time passing - the durationn of the silence is only a couple of minutes, but seems much more substantial because of the different level and quality of attention.

Taking this idea as a starting point, these 14 field recordings, all made with a Zoom H2N recorder in Southest London during November 2020, all last (more or less) fifty breaths' duration. By undertaking this process the idea is to transform one's relationship with one's surroundings, to allow an everyday atmosphere to be transformed into a focus of aesthetic attention, not by changing the circumstance but our own relationship to it.
