Invited to collaborate by Rebecca Sharp

♦ The Air that Carries the Weight ♦

Listen

Your breath

Listen

Your blood

Sound is endless, it is alive, it breathes when we breathe

A wave, invisible, journeys to your edges

Intrudes through membrane

Doesn’t wait to be invited

Doesn’t care if you want it

It is in your body

Listen

Your breath

My breath

We are all in each other, soundless waves lapping over each other’s boundaries

Interfacing

The clock, my pulse, meet

Listen

It is in you

Biography

Amble Skuse‘s compositions centre on the tension between acoustic performance and interactive technologies; received traditions and contemporary technological immediacy; and isolation and communication, in terms both of the realisation of the composition and of the musicological framework. She is based in Fife, Scotland. www.ambleskuse.net
