Aire by Edward Givens

Hear, here—as I attempt to capture in music the essence of the archaic word "aire" in various connotations—air, melody, and mood (or manner). Each piece contains some of the invisible breath that surrounds us all and also the nigh intangible echo of life's little melodies, not to mention our stories, some comedy, and some tragedy. I focus on breathy textures in the strings and winds superimposed over evolving rhythms, devolving into revolving runes, convolving rooms, neumes, moons, and strums… by the pricking of my thumbs, ghostly touches of something that can be felt but never fully understood.
