Respires, the second solo album by Ka Baird, blurs the line between word and action, definition and possibility. Spirited yet restrained, bearing it's wildly thrummed heart strings and inner calm alike, Respires ventures toward the unknown, charting the shifting ground of experimental music and the rewards born of risk. Tapping the ecstatic energy and cathartic experience of Baird's live sets, pushing the extremes of psychological and physical release, Respires represents an unquestionable leap for an artist already out on a limb. Largely written and recorded across the length of 2018, the eight pieces align as a series of visceral actions, captured, culled, and intricately shaped by Baird, then expanded with contributions from Zach Rowden (bass), Max Eilbacher and Andrew Fitzpatrick (synths), and Greg Fox (drums). Respires was born from the intertwined etymologies of spirit and breath, the results of Baird's singular approach to extended vocal technique and radical notions of "body music" which push her performances to uncompromising extremes. Channeling a raw energy from an internal depth, the genetics of Respires construct new bridges of communication, reaching across the perceptual boundaries of spiritual and physical. Informed by indigenous, sacred flute music of New Guinea and vocal music of Burundi, Can, Maryanne Amacher, Don Cherry's Organic Music Society, and Chaitanya Hari's Kundalini Meditation Music, and driven by a fearless quest for musical discovery, Respires offers a glimpse into a sacred space of the musical avant-garde. From the unusual folk music of Spires That In The Sunset Rise, to her many collaborative and solo efforts, Baird's careful artistry and years of experimental exploration, placed in connection with the raw power unleashed by the body, lungs, and reeds, represents an intersection of possible futures on Respires. Tapping the primitive, immediate, unnameable, and fundamentally human, it's an album which proves the impossibility of failure, when the risk of failure is embraced. An answer-or continuation of-Joan la Barbara's long standing indication of the voice as "original instrument, " Respires is spirit, movement, and an immersive life force manifested as sound. A sound in which the self is lost, and becomes something universal. Ka Baird's Respires will be released October 25, 2019 on vinyl, CD, and digital formats. Baird will be touring extensively this fall, including a stop at Unsound's Krakow festival on October 8.

I FINALLY found the perfect flavored water!
Flavor Name: Best Sellers Variety Pack, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
I initially ran across this water b/c it was on sale at my local grocery store and it was NOT what I was expecting at all! I genuinely dislike drinking plain water regardless if it's from the tap, filtered in any way or bottled, regardless of the brand. I will only drink regular water if I absolutely have no other choice. Over many years I have tried numerous types of flavored waters (regular or carbonated), flavored electrolyte drinks, flavor packets or dissolving tablets, etc. If it's out there I've probably tried it. I am also very attached to sugar, so I didn't mind if they were heavy on the sugar/flavor profile, but I was still looking for something that was more on the pure water side as it's healthier, but also something that would quench my thirst and hydrate me instead of leaving me feeling like I needed more. I will, at times, order water w/ a lemon wedge and do have some packets that give a very light flavor of lemon or orange in comparison to everything else I listed above. For some reason these were "sufficient", but still not what I was really looking for. HINT says it all in its name. It gives you a perfect amount of infused flavor rather than syrups, powders, artificial flavoring, etc. It will definitely throw you off for a second the first time you try it b/c it truly isn't like anything else out there that I've tried and is delightfully unexpected. The first time I tried it I THOUGHT it was going to be a disappointment b/c initially I thought it tasted like regular bottled water. Where is the flavor here? But in a matter of a second I tasted the infused flavor profile and it was wonderful. I went around my house and had others try it, knowing they were expecting the same thing I did, and they too were impressed and surprised. I am still amazed at the way this water tastes and I now order by the case. Because this water is so perfectly balanced and refreshing I have almost completely stopped drinking anything else. For the past 6 weeks or so I have continued to only drink HINT (admittedly I have purchased 2-20oz bottles of soda as a treat), but I do not have any desire to drink anything else. I actually drink water now, and I can't believe I'm saying that. If you are a water drinker that wants a little bit more, I suggest this product. If you are like me and have spent decades looking for water that is flavored, but still hydrates and refreshes like regular water, look no longer. HINT is unique and bottled perfection. For people who are conscious of the planet or your body is a temple, HINT also holds a gold standard. The bottles are BPA-free, making the bottle and cap 100% recyclable. Ingredients are only purified water and natural infused flavors. And there are a lot of flavors to choose from. HINT is vegan and free of sugar, sweeteners, MSG, nuts, soy, gluten and preservatives.

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Refreshing flavored water with zero sugar and clean ingredients
Flavor Name: Best Sellers Variety Pack, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Refreshing flavored water with zero sugar and clean ingredients I decided to try the Hint Infused Bottled Water Best Sellers Variety Pack 16 fl oz Pack of 12 because I was looking for a healthier alternative to sodas and sugary drinks. After finishing most of the pack, I can honestly say it has become one of my favorite everyday beverages. The flavors are very light and refreshing, which I personally prefer. Instead of tasting like artificial sweeteners or syrup, the water has a subtle natural fruit essence. It feels clean and crisp, making it perfect for staying hydrated throughout the day without extra sugar or calories. I also like that it contains no artificial sweeteners, zero sugar, and zero calories, which makes it a great option for people trying to reduce sugar intake or follow a healthier lifestyle. The variety pack is nice because it allows you to try several flavors and see which ones you like most. The 16 oz bottles are convenient to grab on the go, pack for work, or keep in the fridge for a quick refreshing drink. Pros • Very refreshing and light taste • Zero sugar and zero calories • No artificial sweeteners • Good variety of flavors • Convenient bottle size Cons • Flavor is very subtle (some people may prefer stronger taste) Overall, this is a great option if you want flavored water without sugar or artificial ingredients. I will definitely keep buying this variety pack to stay hydrated in a healthier way.

HINT WATER
Flavor Name: Best Sellers Variety Pack, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
THIS WATER HAS JUST A SMALL AMOUNT OF FLAVOR. IT DOES TAKE A LITTLE GETTING USED TO BUT AFTER A BOTTLE YOU WILL LIKE IT. IF YOU DONT DRINK MUCH WATER TRY THIS YOU MIGHT LIKE IT OVER TAP WATER.

Excellent if you like flavored water but not seltzer
Flavor Name: Best Sellers Variety Pack, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
I don't like seltzer but I LOVE this stuff. Minus one star because I think it's pricey. I could drink a bunch of these each day, but I limit myself to one.
