"Composers and musicians have taken the shape of our breath as an essential structural and expressive shape. The flautist Kathryn Williams has created the project Coming Up For Air, in which composers write pieces that last as long as a single in-and-out breath. The results are scintillatingly diverse, from the wild distortion of Cee Haines's DOOO to the swannee-whistle-fluidity of Andy Ingamell's Aquafifer." BBC Music Magazine
'strangely fascinating' BBC Music Magazine

BBC Radio 3 The Listening Service with Tom Service: Music and Breathing episode.
​The episode i
ncludes interview and performances of single-breath works by Brian Ferneyhough, Cee Haines, and Oliver Coates.

"How is the rhythm and physicality of our breathing reflected in music? From operatic breath control to circular breathing techniques to a flautist inspired by the relearning of her technique after sinus and asthma problems, Tom looks at a fundamental element of music making."
