The title Prana stems from the Sanskrit, and indicates the breath, or flow, of life. ‘Pranayama,' the Buddhist breathing exercise, is an extension of this, purporting to extend life's power by the halting of breath, and consequently of time itself. Adriaansz's chosen combination of instruments is central to this idea, as their immense potential for the production of long, resonating sounds appears to halt the perception of time and helps both to focus the attention on a wealth of colour and sound and to realise the issues of time, sound, resonance and tuning at Prana's core.
