The Thin Line Between Life and Breath

The Thin Line Between Life and Breath

Nandele Maguni

Mozambique
2025

Performance

The live performance of Thin Line Between Life and Breath transforms breath into a dynamic, immersive experience. Using two cassette recorders, analogue synthesizers, FX pedals, and ambient drones, the performance blends breath, soundscapes, and field recordings in real time. Each sound is unrepeatable, shaped by the interplay of machines, space, and human touch.


This work invites the audience to listen deeply, where sound becomes a form of breathing an act of creation, connection, and presence.
