Back in 2013, I had the privilege of witnessing the magic of The Aeolians of Oakwood University performing live in London. It was a performance that changed the course of my life forever. After the concert, I met Jason Max Ferdinand, their conductor, and vowed to one day write a piece for them to sing. Jason held me to that promise… And, fast-forward 5 years, I was beginning work on my Djesse album series, and felt this was the moment for such a piece to spring to life. I booked a recording session with Jason and the choir at Ocean Way Studios in Nashville, and composed ‘World O World’ the day before I flew from London to the studio to meet them. The 12 hour session that commenced will forever be one of my life’s defining musical moments. We recorded this piece, among some other things - and I left a different person from when I walked in. That day was also the first time I’d ever conducted a group of singers, which is something I’ve gone on to do a great deal of since :-)
