String, Skin & Breath at 1 Pinnacle Path 2026 at 1 Pinnacle Path – Berkeley, CA

String, Skin & Breath is a global ensemble weaving ancient traditions with contemporary expression. Their music unfolds as spontaneous journeys—guided by deep listening, collective intuition, and a shared pulse.

Drawing from Persian and North African modes, chamber music, global folk traditions, and jazz improvisation, the group moves fluidly between original compositions, reimagined covers, and in-the-moment creation. Their sound can settle into meditative stillness one moment, then ignite into intricate, rhythm-driven interplay the next.

Rooted in the belief that music transcends borders, String, Skin & Breath creates immersive sonic spaces where melody and rhythm evolve in real time. Each performance is a living conversation—unrepeatable, unpredictable, and deeply human.
