Gasp Of The Guru [disquiet0384] by Krakenkraft

Disquiet Junto Project 0384: Breath Beat
The Assignment: Explore breath as a resource for rhythm.

I think breathing is the essence of music and I have used breathing or breathing-like rhythms many times, but mostly subtile. This mission however called for an obtrusive LISTEN TO THE BEAT OF THE BREATH! and I decided to make it's presence unmistakeable.

It's my own breath (which I found hard to record), used in a handful of samples for some variety, recorded with a Zoom H1N and a dead cat. I added some gongs starting around 1:00, because I like their meditative character, plus some cosmic noise … the main work was done in Caustic for Android with some mixing in Reaper.

There is an remastered version on the album "The Beyond" https://krakenkraft.bandcamp.com/album/the-beyond
