Perceive

new age / experimental-electronic / psychedelic / ambient industrial / drone

"Perceive" is Leslie Keffer's first full-length installment in what will surely be a series of mainly ambient vocal works, which she says were attempts to "capture the feelings I became aware of after having spiritual experiences, and interpret them through music".

She also describes the "encounters" as "tactile" for her, and said she "liked the idea of translating these emotions musically instead of feeling it internally in my body". Essentially, she feels that her level of sensitivity has given way to a form of synesthesia that she experiences primarily within her body, and tries to document with her voice. "Perceive" began from Keffer singing while in different trance states, and developed from that very basic impetus. The result is challenging and innovative ambient music that is raw and down to earth, but also graceful and compelling.
