I hope you can set aside some time to listen to this ambient aeolian recording. This free-form composition (or at least, my collaboration with a Foehn, a southwesterly wind) is the result of my first experiments using contact microphones to record the wind as it swept through the strings of a small harp. After editing and processing (but without inserting further elements) the resulting sound seems to retain a feeling of an underlying Spirit in the wind, as if it were breathing through the tones of the harp.

This is great, lovely subtle sounds. Did you interact with the harp in any way to get the wind to "play" it?
Sorry to hear about your son's illness. Yes, that breathing effect adds a lot of life to the piece. I'm not sure how it got there! At some point I'll go back to the raw file and see how it sounded before processing.
