As part of the glassblowing process, breath & fire both play a part as the glass expands, pops, morphs, and becomes a new work. When we imagine breath, there is a sense of expansion and contraction, a connection to and awareness of the current moment. When we think about fire, there is energetic movement, intensity, heat. 
​
This album - this new work - has been like the glass, created through the energies of breath & fire as part of its own process of coming to life. The pieces on the album strongly invoke stillness or motion, and the recording process of matching spaces to the mood or pace in the music seeks to further draw out these energies as you listen.
