Breath as Event
This study examines breath as an event rather than as a physiological function or sonic material. Within the Sound as Event framework, breath is treated as an embodied condition that enables sound to occur.
Core Claim
Variations in breath alter the structure of sound events even when compositional parameters remain unchanged. Breath functions as an initiating and sustaining condition—addressing whether sound may occur.
