Ruach/Breath

Ruach/Breath is a song I made using a drum loop, and two parts I played on my Low Whistle, which was run through an effects pedal.

Ruach is Hebrew for breath, but also for soul or spirit. The breath and the spirit are one. When one ceases, so does the other.

I feel that there's something emotionally deeper in musical instruments controlled by breath. The intonation is more directly from the inside of the body, closer to singing.
