New York-based multi-instrumentalist, producer and performer Ka Baird joins host
Eve Essex for a conversation on her practice and her recent solo release
Respires on RVNG. Baird gets into the development of the new record, including
how the concept of breath was crucial to its development, and plays into her
practice as a flutist and vocalist. Discussion touches on how physicality
amplifies the energy of her live performances, and how spirituality and concepts
of ritual play into her relationship to audiences. The tracklist includes music
by Baird as well as Spires That In The Sunset Rise-- who she’s played with since
2001, Respires collaborator Max Eilbacher, Kraftwerk and Meara O’Reilly.
