Disquiet Junto Project 0384: Breath Beat
The Assignment: Explore breath as a resource for rhythm.

This piece is based on the sound of my dog Nira sleeping :)
I've often wondered what she is dreaming about as she twitches and moves about in her sleep. Perhaps she is still dealing with the massive transitions in her short life - being surrendered with her pups, living in a shelter, then being adopted and moving from a small country down to the Big Smoke.
To make this piece, I layered the original recording with time-stretched and manipulated versions in Ableton 9, then used the Sennheiser Ambeo plug-in to pan the layers across the sound field.
