<br>The
Zen Buddhists insist that during meditation the practitioner must focus
exclusively on their breath. When stray thoughts enter your mind, you
must always go back to your breath. What they mean by this is that if
you are breathing, you are alive. What we do every second is something
we take for granted. Coming at it from a very different angle, the
artists featured in this mix want to make us aware of the same thing: by
highlighting our most commonly shared – yet almost invisible – bodily
function and using it as the basis for sonic exploration, they reveal
something at once cosmic and mundane, that which is right under our
nose, but which we somehow ignore. John Cage once said that music is all
around us if only we had the ears to hear it. The same can be said by
the artists compiled here: breathing is all around us, if only we had
the tools to pay attention to it. This compilation is, hopefully, one
small step toward that end. <br><br>Kenneth Goldsmith @Radio_Web_MACBA: <span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/gksAZb" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/gksAZb </a><span></span><br>Follow us at <a href="http://twitter.com/Radio_Web_MACBA" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/Radio_Web_MACBA</a><a href="http://twitter.com/Radio_Web_MACBA" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/Radio_Web_MACBA</a>
