RICHARD REED PARRY & SUSIE IBARRA - Heart And Breath: Rhythm & Tone Fields (VMP Edition)- LP - Cream and Red Galaxy Vinyl [MAR 7]

LP - Limited Edition Cream and Red Galaxy Vinyl in a single, direct-to-board, foil stamped and hand-numbered jacket. (VMP Edition). 

Heart And Breath: Rhythm And Tone Fields was conceived of and created by multi-instrumentalist and composer Richard Reed Parry of Arcade Fire and world renowned percussionist and composer Susie Ibarra. Parry and Ibarra created an album of time-based pieces by focusing their attention and awareness on the rhythm and tone of their breath and heartbeats, using their pulse to inform the rhythm of their metronome. 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.

While the global pandemic brought a unique poignancy to the artists’ focus on the universal human sounds, the music they created brims over with gentle, organic rhythm and melody and reflects the deeply introspective and inherently personal moment surrounding its creation.

This is an album that abandons predetermined musical forms and follows its own intuitive body-logic in a way that is beautifully tactile, uncategorizable music. It’s perfect for ambient, relaxing and meditative moments.

Limited to 300 copies, the VMP exclusive of Richard Reed Parry and Susie Ibarra’s Heart and Breath: Rhythm and Tone Fields (OFFAIR)is pressed on Cream & Red Galaxy vinyl at GZ Vinyl. The 1LP will arrive in a single, direct-to-board, foil stamped and hand-numbered jacket.
