Arthur Possing Quartet | JOEL RABESOLO 'HOMES'
What makes you feel at home? And where do you find it?
The Arthur Possing Quartet delves into these universal questions with their third studio album, HOMES.
HOMES transcends the idea of home as merely a physical place, inviting listeners to discover it as a feeling found in music and the bonds we form with others. Sometimes, these connections arise unexpectedly- in places you've never been or people you've never met- yet they carry an unmistakable sense of familiarity and comfort.
One such connection shines in HOMES through the extraordinary collaboration with Malagasy guitarist Joel Rabesolo. Renowned for his intricate melodies and soulful expression, Rabesolo infuses the album witheffortless lightness and fresh sonic textures, embodying the spirit of musical sharing and togetherness.
Live performances of HOMES blur the boundaries between artist and audience, transforming each concert into a shared journey. In these moments, the Arthur Possing Quartet creates more than music—they build a fleeting yet profound community, united by the magic of sound and the universal longing for belonging.
The album has been officially out on 9th May 2025, under Double Moon Records/Challenge Records.
