The title track opens the album with steady three note melodies that move with each new chord. This progression is repeated throughout the song and punctuated with unpredictable short notes from the high end of the piano. This creates tension in the unknown and emotion in the unexpected, heightened by the slightly varying rhythms of the lower three note melodies that build tender hesitation, hope, and wonder as the song progresses.
It is always interesting to see how an instrumental body of work will tell a story without the aid of lyrics. Though “The Deepest Breath” effectively makes the listener feel connection, gratitude, melancholy, longing, and more, the beautiful thing about this album is that it doesn’t tell you to feel anything. Instead, it allows you to form your own connection to the music, and examine what feelings come up and what they mean to you.
Lilting melodies float around over low rhythmic chords, offering a stable listening experience with lovely melodies that occasionally catch you off guard and pull at your heartstrings. The album is cinematic, thoughtful, and human, and a true testament to Rachini’s clear artistic vision.
