[SUSAN PHILIPSZ]
"War Damaged Musical Instruments" is a work
that has been going for a few years now.
0:13 - 0:14

[HORN BLOWS]
0:17 - 0:18

--[PHILIPSZ] Okay, ready?
0:21 - 0:24

[SUSTAINED HORN BLOWING]
0:32 - 0:34

[HORN BLOWING CONTINUES]
0:44 - 0:48

It's clear to see that these instruments
could never play music anymore.
0:48 - 0:50

I mean, they were so badly damaged.
0:50 - 0:52

But they still could produce sound.
0:53 - 0:58

Sometimes it would be a very fragile,
delicate sound.
0:58 - 1:00

And it was really more about the breath.
1:02 - 1:03

[RECORDING OF HORN PLAYS THROUGH SPEAKER]
1:04 - 1:09

I became interested in breath
