This multidisciplinary performance offers a dialogue between piano compositions and improvisations, in which participants engage through their own breath observations and perceptions during the listening.

While listening, participants will be guided through the music of composer and pianist Marcos Meza (CL) and various breathing methods led by mentor and artist Anne-Louise Frei (DE). The resulting experience is a journey through the human body and its movements, navigating through images and sounds that allow the audience to experience their own inner journey and recharge their life energy.

Live Piano & Breathing Session is a wonderful opportunity to take a break in turbulent times. In our sessions, we guide participants to consciously pay attention to their bodies by giving instructions and leading awareness exercises. This encourages a deep connection to music and supports inner peace.

Our groups have a capacity of 10 people, and the sessions take place at frei-raum.berlin, Cotheniusstraße 3, 10407 Berlin.

They last 90 minutes, and we’d love to have you join us!

The session will be mainly in English, paired with German depending on the participants.

MARCOS MEZA, a Chilean composer based in Berlin since 2017, first honed his musical skills studying piano in popular music at the Modern School of Music and Dance in Chile.

His academic journey later led him to delve into composition, orchestration, and arrangements, with a particular focus on performing arts and experimental music. Presently, Marcos showcases his compositions for piano and electronics at various venues within the modern classical scene, all the while nurturing a growing fascination with ambient music, using it to create immersive sonic landscapes that transport listeners through time and space.

ANNE-LOUISE FREI, a mentor and artist from Germany, studied photography in Düsseldorf

and multimedia art in Cologne. Her interest in audiovisual art and human development led her to breath therapy and Middendorf‘s Experiential Breath in Berlin. As director of the art space frei-raum.berlin and Studio F, she has been unfolding her creative vision for almost 30 years. Her work gives a sense of timelessness and balance, her strength lies in the combination of theoretical, emotional and physical knowledge.

Some extra Informations:

Relaxing music has been proven to have a positive effect on blood pressure. It helps us to get into a more relaxed state. This is truly amazing, because the process of listening to music begins in the brain stem. This is also responsible for our heart beating, breathing and regulating our blood pressure. The harmonious sounds of music can stimulate the body to enter a state of relaxation. This is truly fascinating, as it slows down the heartbeat, deepens breathing and ultimately lowers blood pressure. These findings emphasise the healing power of music and offer a fascinating insight into the interaction between music and the body.
