On June 9, Arcade Fire multi-instrumentalist Richard Reed Parry will release a new solo album, Music for Heart and Breath, as ArcadeFireTube points out. It will be out through classical label Deutsche Grammophon and features collaborations with Nico Muhly, the National's Bryce Dessner and Aaron Dessner, yMusic, and Kronos Quartet.
On his website, Parry describes the album as "very soft, very quiet music, played utterly in synch with the heart rates and breathing rates of the musicians performing it. Every note you hear is either in synch with the heartbeat of the person playing it, the breathing of the person (or one of the surrounding persons) playing it. So what you hear when this music plays is played precisely in time with someone’s quiet, internal rhythms. Brought to musical life by a handful of different ensembles."
