Word of Mouth: Voices

Breath is a prudent prospect of connectivity. Performed byt the Faroese ensemble KATA the work researches and discovers the breath as a sound source and a means of communication.
Breath connects us with our primal traits and our common grounds.

Breath is based on a 4 year’s research where Lindemann worked with the physicality and music of the breath. As part of the research Lindemann worked with lung patients, the sound and the stories of their breath. This became the outset of Breath, where field recordings of these patients blend with the live performance where the breath is amplified through contact mics and modified by guitarpedals.

With a dynamic career of performances throughout Europe, South Africa, and Switzerland, Lindemann’s work uniquely intertwines spatiality, tactility, movement, and sound. Through themes of synchronicity and discrepancy, she delves into the primal human drive for connection, exploring the places we entangle and the places we are delimited. 
Breath boldly explores these places in an interdisciplinary experience, combining sound, lights, movement and field recordings.
Music critic Macon Holt describes Lindemann’s earlier work as follows :
‘It is that place we can occupy and invent together (...). Lindemann’s work is a daring attempt to intensify and draw you into such a space. It’s an invitation and one that is well worth accepting’.
