In Breathing Rhythms, master percussionist Glen Velez offers a multilayered, interactive journey to attune listeners to the natural rhythms and energy flows of the body.

Engaging the principles of rhythm and tone used by meditative chant and drumming traditions across the globe, these five somatic soundscapes were created to boost energy levels, encourage expansive states of well-being, and activate the 'matrix of sound' that resonates within every cell of our bodies. With cello by Eugene Friesen and gypsy pan flute by Damian Dragichi.
