Richard Reed Parry - Heart and Breath: Rhythm and Tone Fields (OFFAIR) '2022

Tracks list

       Multi instrumentalist and composer Richard Reed Parry (Arcade Fire) and
notable percussionist and composer Susie Ibarra release their collaborative
project Heart and Breath: Rhythm and Tone Fields (OFFAIR).

The project started as a sound pack for creator platform Splice, Ibarra and
Parry collaborated remotely using the rhythm of their heartbeats to create each
track. The compositions that emerged are hypnotic fields of sound that seem to
float suspended in time and space, unfolding gently in a manner that is at once
intimate and expansive, and which connects the listener to their own most
primal, internal body rhythms. 

Of the recording process Reed Parry said, “This doesn’t sound like
any record I’ve ever heard. There’s a sensibility to it that was
enabled by remote recording, and the fact that we made our breath into music and
then into samples and then we built on that to make an album. I think it's a
great new step to make a record that can exist as component pieces.”
