Coming Up for Air is a multi-faceted creative response to instrumental and physical restrictions. The project explores the possibilities that emerge when pieces are limited to a single breath.
I faced my own respiratory restrictions through a chronic sinus condition and asthma, serious issues for a flautist. My sinus condition became severe enough that my playing, as well as my health, were severely negatively affected and I required an operation. Through the support of Help Musicians UK, this was made possible and the procedure transformed by flute playing and quality of breathing.
I have so far commissioned 14 new single-breath pieces and the project is being developed further with mentoring from YCAT Sounding Board.
Proceeds donated to Help Musicians UK to support their vital work for musicians throughout their careers.
