Arcade Fire's Richard Reed Parry makes his debut as a classical composer with works that draw upon influences from classical, folk, and electronic music. It seeks to engage the human body as the main way to set the tempo.
Quartet for heart and breath (6:45) -- Heart and breath sextet (15:00) -- For heart, breath and orchestra (12:22) -- Interruptions I-VII : (Heart and breath nonet). Miniature 1 ; String peaks ; Wind's idea ; Miniature 2 ; Sticks/Tension ; French guitars ; Freeform winds/String drones (20:08) -- Duet for heart and breath (4:28) -- Quartet for heart and breath : (for Kronos) (6:42).
Note
Principally chamber music; the 3rd work for chamber orchestra; "there are no time signatures: the tempos and rhythms are always governed by either the heart rates or the breathing rates of the individual players."
