Скачать или смотреть RESPIRE - Gray Castro, Alto Saxophone

This is my midterm project for my Composition I class.

From the original score's Program Notes:
"Once you become aware of BREATHING, you may take control, and BREATHE on your own. You might eventually forget, and your trusty medulla takes care of automatically RESPIRATING.

Even if you hold your BREATH, your autonomic nervous system will yank the reins from your mind and force you to... survive.

Ironically, when you suffer from anxiety, it may be that you can't help but HYPERVENTILATE, since your primitive brain believes it will help you live.

As a musician, no matter what instrument, you cannot play without BREATHING.

In this personal piece, I intentionally make our aerobic nature a written purpose in the music; the way we RESPIRE, whether consciously or not, is a beautiful song we must listen to from the beginning of our life until the end."

Thank you for listening!
