Possession is comprised of material from the recording sessions that resulted in Perceive its beauty, acknowledge its grace. It furthers my exploration of poetic arc, dramatic form and what it means to journey emotionally from one body of sound to another in ways that are asymmetrical yet structurally coherent.

At the heart of the narrative underpinning Perceive its beauty... is the idea that in the wake of the world as we know it collapsing, our fear and insecurities bring us to an awareness of our breath and a need for a possession ('Body to inhabit/ I’ll do whatever you want') that entails from submission to the song of the motherland which ultimately revitalises our spirit. Possession is the exploration of the free floating liminal space which characterises the transition from one dimensional sphere of awareness to another.
