| Long Sands Beach, Tynemouth, North Shields on 20th March 2024: Spring Equinox Sunrise: 06:06 am ‘WE HAVE ALWAYS WALKED’ is Breath Quartet’s third collaboration celebrating the season change and performing an improvised ritual for our common ancestors. This project is a special one, speaking directly to all the world’s wanderers, pilgrims, uprooted and displaced souls, searchers, explorers, the curious, the lost, the broken, the found, the confused, those grieving, those weeping, those singing, those praying, those speaking, sharing, laughing, teaching, learning, passing on wisdom, exchanging gifts, cooking, eating, sleeping, sheltering, healing, leading, following, holding hands, holding each other, loving each other, loving, breathing, breathing, loving, smiling, hearing each other, heading towards and from the horizon, heading towards and from the sea, sharing a common ancestral thread, sharing common ancestors, hearing them whisper with every step ‘we have always walked, we have always walked….we have always walked….’ |

Breath Quartet is an improvisational collaboration between Margot Wilson, Marcus Herne, Patrick Ziza and James Merrell. Using experimental and traditional tantric and shamanic breath practices. Marcus Herne's original Celtic and shamanic sounds weave a sonic spectacle that urge both performers and audience to raise arms, spreads wings, and fly.
Patrick Ziza's continuous flow traces the bends and pulses of the cosmic waves. James Merrell's presence and ethereal eye captures the beautiful collective organ of breath. Breath Quartet is committed to one thing, the universal basis of human life: breath.
