Ātma(n) takes its title from the idea of vital breath and investigates the performer as an extension of the instrument. Human respiration, instrumental air and friction are gradually hybridised through a six-player ensemble whose sounds and bodies participate in the same resonant process.

Breathing cycles generate musical and choreographic gestures, while changing spatial configurations produce parallel visual and acoustic trajectories. The form follows an ascending and descending arch in which resonance spreads, intensifies and eventually transforms the entire ensemble into an immersive breathing body.
