2014 release from the Arcade Fire member. MUSIC FOR THE HEART AND BREATH is Richard Reed Parry4s debut as classical composer. Richard is a multi-instrumentalist and composer, drawing his influences from Classical music, Folk and Electronica. This is his first core classical release that will find his home at Deutsche Grammophon! The album features various compositions for Heart and Breath for various ensembles, as well as small interludes (Interruptions). The concept behind HEART AND BREATH is that every musician involved in the piece generates his own tempo by listening to his/her pulse during the performance. Fragile and intimate, these stunningly created performance effects are the basis for this conceptual compositional approach.
