I’m really intrigued by instinct and the circumstances in which it can really flourish. For example, I’ve been classically trained – admittedly many more years ago than I’d care to mention – and that training can stay with you, or at least the modality or mindset of it can, if not the skills! I also have a tendency to analyse things, which is like watching a political debate – mind numbingly tedious and utterly pointless. I have got far better at going with my instinct – must be that thing of not giving a fuck as you get older. But, it intrigues me how an analytical nature and the pull of instinct have co-habited through my lifetime – it sometimes feels like a metaphor for the many paradoxes that exist in the world today.

Instinct is very much evident in the music of my wonderful guest Anna von Raison , a real clash of musical styles and there’s a noticeable evolution in the soundscape from her first EP 5 years ago with her latest album - and LP end-of-a-trilogy - Salvation, and makes me think about our own evolution - life, identity and experiences as well as a desire that I think we all possess somewhere – and that’s to experiment, let the subconscious do its work and see where it goes.

Really enjoyed this conversation with Anna about her life, her views, her ways of being and her honesty about so many things including herself.
