These two side-long compositions centre around drone music and are both intended as an invitation to listen deeply as they are a product of deep listening itself. Drawing on Heller’s live practice, which aims to create shared social experiences, this music mediates between matter and metaphysics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf we recognise that we and the world around us are nothing but vibrations and oscillations, drone music can get in touch with a profound aspect of our ways of being, says Heller. It enables us to get in tune with our surroundings and each other. Hence, resonance serves as the guiding principle of his work. As Heller explains, the title \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBreathing Soil\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e can be read in two ways: As a description of how one breathes in the soil and gets in touch with the Earth through the sound, or that it is the soil itself that breathes while one listens—as two ways of resonance, with sound serving as the connective tissue between different forms of being.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e»Breathing Soil\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e relies on radical forms of reduction that treat sound as raw form—as vibrations and oscillations whose subtle acceleration and deceleration can have wide-reaching consequences. Meant to be played on speakers, the subtle shifts in dynamics, timbre, and volume of these two pieces are supposed to resonate with the rooms in which they are played. This music aims to make the things sing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReleased in collaboration with La Becque | Artist Residency.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HALLOW GROUND","offers":[{"title":"Black Vinyl LP","offer_id":59658073407833,"sku":"SDZ-53666","price":27.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/a3023715417_10.jpg?v=1790864024","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/elischa-heller-breathing-soil","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
