AIR is a notational sound score for the breath, with vinyl LP and laser-cut postcard. In music notation, a breath mark or luftpause (air-break) is a symbol for the performer to take a breath, similar to the comma in many written languages. The commas featured in this sound score were excavated from the Constitution of the United States of America, as an embodied interpretation of a politicized text.
The 7-inch clear record features sonic interpretations of the score by Caroline Partiamian, Alex Waterman, Sadie Siegel (Seth Weiner), and Cat Lauigan, where each artist was invited to create a musical composition in response to the commas, or breath marks, in the score and corresponding recordings by various breath practitioners.
Cover design and typography by Mark Foss, record mastered by Ethan Primason.
