Observation of Breath

On Lawrence English's 2021 album, 'Observation of Breath' he worked exclusively with an organ for four compositions that are exercises in maximal minimalism, as their creator himself notes in a nod to Charlemagne Palestine, who coined this term. While it seems somewhat fitting that those four pieces based on a steady flow of air were conceived and recorded in a situation of accelerated standstill caused by a respiratory disease, the Room40 founder is not so much concerned with capturing the zeitgeist than rather incorporating the spirit of time itself. It is a record about presence and patience, he explains. Exploring the unique sonic affordances of a singular instrument, 'Observation of Breath' is not only devoted to the durability of sound but also to its density.
