BREATHS | HAEYOUNG KIM
Breaths is an interactive multimedia performance that explores the ways in which technology can be used to foster creative environments. Incorporating personal smart devices with the Moori system, Breath breaks down the barriers between a performance and audience and a spontaneous, communal work of art is gradually constructed. With Breaths, “performance” is redefined and the isolation often associated with our current modes of communication and entertainment is transcended.

Seven Of Henry Threadgill’s Favorite Recordings

Source: Music Aficionado.

There are so many recordings I have loved because of the transforming performances by great artists, but I can’t mention more than few here, so I feel a little guilty about picking these almost randomly.
