This tune was written in late April 2020, when I was sick with Covid 19. I had just been taken by ambulance to the hospital with breathing difficulties that were so bad I was crawling on the floor. For weeks I couldn't play with my violin under my chin without feeling dizzy, so I wrote this tune for plucked strings, body percussion, humming and breathing. I tried to put into music how the pandemic has made me feel like time passes mind-numbingly slow and so fast it makes my head spin at the same time... and how happy I am just to be able to fill my lungs with air!

This recording was made with a simple computer mic and Garageband, so it's nothing fancy, but if you don't listen in good headphones you might miss the small details. It is a part of my Corona Suite in C minor, which began with the tune "Lugnet" (The Calm), continues with "Andas" (Breathe) and has at least two more parts which are almost done.

To be continued...
