Michigan band
Breathe Owl Breathe
comes to Ann Arbor
By EDITH FREYER
Daily Arts Writer
Tonight, Breathe Owl Breathe
will soar into Ann Arbor to play
an evening show at Arbor Vitae,
and the band
is bringing an Breathe Owl
unconventional
attitude toward Breathe
music. The Tonight at
East Jordan, 8p.m.
Mich. trio, who
started collabo- Arbor Vitae
rating in 2004, From $8
have a passion
for blurring the lines between a
variety of artistic disciplines to
culminate in unusual live perfor-
mances.
Breathe Owl Breathe has an
eclectic palette in its member
composition and audio output.
Micah Middaugh, the band's
lead singer, is a skilled print-
maker who operates his own art
studio. Andrea Moreno-Beals
is a classically trained cellist
and budding embroidery art-
ist, while Trevor Hobbs teaches
online physical geography, hav-
ing obtained a master's degree
from Michigan State University.
A diverse bunch to be sure, their
appreciation for variety burns
brightest in the music they
make.
"Sometimes we're called to-fi
indie folk - just using differ-
ent methods for making sounds
and performing with instru-

ments that are in various states
of decay," said Trevor Hobbs,
the group's drummer. "We have
a folk element to it, because we
have cello and acoustic guitar
and drums, but we're kind of
mixing in all sorts of other differ-
ent kinds of sounds, both digital
and acoustic these days."
The band often writes and
records at a remote Michigan
cabin belonging to Middaugh's
family.
"It's a place where we cannot
necessarily block out the world,
but just create in the ways that we
want to, which is really impor-
tant to us," Hobbs said.
More specifically, the band-
mates are interested in eventu-
ally developing themselves as
producers of their own art and
music, handling every aspect of
creation and publication. They've
already created audio-visual chil-
dren's books and would like to
make a practice of creating live
shows in diverse spaces.
"We're really focused on ori-
enting ourselves so that every-
thing we do is coming out of our
own little ship - our own little
vessel," Hobbs said.
Breathe Owl Breathe's music
envelops a subtle classical influ-
ence, which Hobbs describes as
not only a result of the group's
long history with music, but also
an overwhelming passion for its
different forms.
"We have that deeper founda-
tionbutalot of it comes from just
appreciating more and more how
songs are arranged and wanting
to approach our own music with
that in mind," Hobbs said.
Meanwhile, the group is

increasingly grateful for the
opportunity to travel around the
world - Breathe Owl Breathe
recently played in Ireland - and
share its creative message. Hobbs
described Breathe Owl Breathe's
live shows as unplanned and cre-
ated by spontaneous decisions
based on each location and crowd.
"We may play new songs and
we may not," Hobbs said. "We get
to the venue and we check in and
see how everybody's feeling about
what works well and what doesn't
work. We like to mix it up."
The band is currently touring
with longtime friend and Cali-
fornia-based musician Kyle Field,
who performs under the moniker
Little Wings. This tour marks
Field's first foray on Michigan
soil, an event Hobbs said is a long
time coming.
"We're really excited to show
him around to all the different
places that are so important to us
and have been a part of our own
story," he said.
Though Breathe Owl Breathe
has played Arbor Vitae a couple of
times before, Ann Arborites still
may not know what to expect at
tonight's show. But it's sure to be
a distinctive mark of creativity, as
Hobbs and his bandmates have a
deep enthusiasm for their perfor-
mances.
"(The best part is) getting to
the place where you don't feel
like there's a filter at all between
the deepest parts of yourself and
what comes out to the audience,"
Hobbs said.
"It comes and goes unexpect-
edly -you never know how you're
going to feel - but when you feel
good, it's really rewarding."

Chamber music differs from
orchestral and symphonic music
because of its lack of a leader.

Startingthis weekend, agroup
of diverse University music stu-
dents will explore this con-
nection with a series of three
concerts titled, "Mad About
Chamber Music."
"You get to see musicians
work with each other on a level
that you wouldn't normally see
in a symphony," said Nonna
Karenovna Aroutiounian, a
second year masters student at
the School of Music, Theatre
& Dance. "Everyone works as a
whole, but it's much more inti-
mate. Part of the enjoyment is
from seeing people communi-
cate with each other, with their
eyes and with their ears and
not necessarily through their
words."
The shows will feature a fili-
gree of chamber pieces from
Beethoven, Schubert and Pou-
lenc. It will also include two of
the more unique chamber piec-
es in Dvorik's "Dumky trio in
e-minor" and a quartet by Vien-
nese Romantic composer Walter
Rabl.
