about

A body synchronizes different senses of time. Fleeting biorhythms of breath and pulse combine to create long-form tempos of hours and weeks. An instrument also embodies time in the vibrations of a string journeying to decay from the force that excites—combining to create melody and form.

In this piece, each players first attune to the tempo of their heartbeat. Each pulse played on the keys incites the hammers like mechanical fingers. The players then join a canon based on the tempo of their breath. The piece continues to move through these internal and collective senses of time, connecting the machine of the piano to the body that plays it.
