I confess now (enough time has surely passed?) that the latter activity was entirely underhanded, and that most of A Turn of Breath was a clandestine affair against all manner of UBC policy – though looking back I probably didn’t do as good a job obscuring one set of anachronistic technology amongst the other as I’d thought (if they are reading, thanks to my supervisors for turning a graciously blind eye). The building where A Turn of Breath was recorded was an old converted hospital from the Second World War, made of institutional greens and long enfilades into which we squirrelled our printing presses while waiting for our new studio to be constructed. It was a study of contrast: we found ourselves nestled in with virology, marine biology and psychology. We printmakers, covered constantly in facemasks and litho ink, would encounter pipette-wielding lab-coated scientists outside of sealed viral reliquaries. I have no doubt the psychology department, quietly observing the whole thing, revelled in these daily clashes. At the time too, I had just become the printmaking technician there; a massive change in my life. Transitions and texture everywhere!It hadn’t donned on me before wandering there again, but A Turn of Breath was in this regard a record made entirely in and of transition, recorded in the interstices between studios, between time, between situations, between permissibility, between thinking I knew what I was doing and the jubilant chaos that holds us all. It was also culled from many different sources and intentions, starting life out as an entirely different released record. It has transformed many times, transforming here again, and will likely continue to. It pretty much *is* transformation. Now that I’ve had some time to reflect on it, I think more than anything else A Turn of Breath must then be my love letter to change, a means for me to revel in becoming as a perpetual and nourishing thing. It certainly helped during that chaotic time. I am grateful beyond measure that the nature of this change has resonated with people. And, of course, that the neighbours in that old building didn’t seem to mind the many blurred rackets on into the night.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Ian William Craig\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Recital\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2022-05-28T10:04:18+09:00","created_at":"2022-05-26T16:17:41+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["ambient","lp","neo classical","new","Recital"],"price":448000,"price_min":448000,"price_max":448000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42797192511738,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Ian William Craig \/\/ A Turn Of Breath 2xLP","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":448000,"weight":530,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/br1_3de5b3ae-1553-4660-adda-1f4ecb01be0d.jpg?v=1653549463"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/br1_3de5b3ae-1553-4660-adda-1f4ecb01be0d.jpg?v=1653549463","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":29766111920378,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1024,"width":1024,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/br1_3de5b3ae-1553-4660-adda-1f4ecb01be0d.jpg?v=1653549463"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1024,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/br1_3de5b3ae-1553-4660-adda-1f4ecb01be0d.jpg?v=1653549463","width":1024}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003eカナダのアンビエント作家Ian William Craigが、2018年にアメリカのRecitalからリリースした2枚組レコードです。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e声とオープンリールをメインソースとしたネオクラシカル・アンビエント12曲を収録。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6hG1ULqnUQU\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/461632521\u0026amp;color=%23ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc; line-break: anywhere; word-break: normal; overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif; font-weight: 100;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/recitalprogram\" title=\"Recital\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRecital\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/recitalprogram\/r8-ian-william-craig-erat-hora\" title='R8 - Ian William Craig - \"Erat Hora\" from A Turn of Breath 2xLP' style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eR8 - Ian William Craig - \"Erat Hora\" from A Turn of Breath 2xLP\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/455414394\u0026amp;color=%23ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc; line-break: anywhere; word-break: normal; overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif; font-weight: 100;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/recital\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/recital\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\/\/\/ Click \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/recital\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/recital\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to see more Recital releases available at Tobira. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e--------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eText by Recital:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eRecital here presents the premiere LP by vocalist Ian William Craig (b. 1980, Edmonton).
