Arcade Fire's Richard Reed Parry To Release New Solo Album 'Music For Heart And Breath'

Arcade Fire multi-instrumentalist Richard Reed Parry has announced he will release his new solo album titled 'Music for Heart and Breath', on June 9th through Deutsche Grammophon. 

In a statement, Parry described the album as: "very soft, very quiet music, played utterly in sych 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. And now, at last, recorded in full, and coming out on Deutsche Grammophon in a few weeks from now. It has been a joy to create this work, and even more of a joy to have it brought to life by such a fantastic cast of musical minds." Parry explained.

Tracklist:

01. Quartet For Heart And Breath
02. Heart And Breath Sextet
03. For Heart, Breath And Orchestra
Interruptions (Heart and Breath Nonet)
04. I Miniature 1
05. II String Peaks

07. IV Miniature 2
08. V Sticks/Tension

10. VII Freeform Winds/String Drones
