The Breath Between Us
is a deeply immersive work that bridges the elemental act of breathing with the expressive art of dance. Created in collaboration with the MSU Denver Dance Department for their Gradients project, the piece explores the rhythmic and textural qualities of breath as a universal symbol of life and connection. Using Ableton Live, Cass Pangell intricately wove recorded breath sounds with innovative manipulation and editing techniques. This composition stands as a testament to the seamless interplay between music and movement, born from a close collaboration with a choreographer. Premiered live at the Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Theater, it invites the audience into an intimate and transformative experience, where sound and motion resonate as one.Performed live November 12 & 13th at the Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Theater in Denver, CO.
