30 second extract of Bridge Breathing 20:30 (in the gap, are we there), a 3 minute performance for Light Beams under a Bridge Volume 9, Street Soundsystem, 29 April. I walked along the line of people sat under the bridge and breathed into the microphone. At the same time, the speaker, an orange and black karaoke speaker, was passed hand to hand along the line of people. I waited for the speaker to be passed as I breathed/caught up with the speaker if it was moving faster than I was. The time 20:30 was projected as large numbers onto the wall of the underside of the bridge, over the water. This was in yellow/orange, related to the colour of the times on train departure boards.
