The Breathing Hand is the second movement of my third album ‘Five Incantations’ and is a musical exploration of the element of Air; originally scored for four cellos. Mohan Rana wrote ‘The Crossing’ as a response to this music, and this is the text I have set within the music. Composed in Hindi, the poetry was translated from English to Polish by Adam Zdrodowski, with contributions by Weronika Czepulonis.
