bellows (n.)

instrument for producing a current of air, especially for a fire, from middle English blaestbaelg, literally "blowing bag" (compare German Blasebalg). Related to belly (n.) from Proto-Indo-European *bhel-" to blow, swell."

bellow (v.)

from an imitative Proto-Indo-European root *bhel-" to sound, roar."Originally of animals, used of human beings since c. 1600. As a noun, 'a loud, deep cry".

'Hold for Three' is a sonic performance which morphs bodies into machinehood and objects into organs. Along with artist Lottie Sebes, we probe the sonic capacities of various bellows, operating them as instruments and prosthetics.

​

Sonic worlds are built from wheezing breath, creaking hinges, loosening screws, and hot air hissing.

 

What slips from a hosed mouth on the floor of an old ship?
