What is Breath Art?

It’s what happens when the everyday function and expressivity of breathing is isolated apart from speaking, singing, beatboxing and so on, then cultivated as a creative + artistic medium all unto itself. Through that singular focus, the human breath can then be used to produce such emulative sounds of wind, the ocean, thunder, crickets, whatever the imagination can align itself with from the worlds of nature, music and endless sonic phenomenon.
