Details can be found here: https://opensea.io/gary_powell Quote from creator Gary Powell about the idea behind ‘The INVASION OF…’: “There is no longer a libretto like brief to read at the back of an album to tell you what you have purchased or how the work was completed and by whom. There’s not even really the physical experience of playing your purchase as for the majority this has been digitised. I want to take the experience we once cherished and place it into a familiar frame work that is the world we live in now so you can hold something whilst you listen and watch something that ties the whole experience together. “ Image Library can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xez3ykse9qdxuib/AADSC9e95w8hmyXbDjG22uuoa?dl=0 Please credit all images: ‘Josh Klaw/The Invasion of…’ About Musician and Creator Gary Powell Gary Powell is the creator of ‘THE INVASION OF…’, an inter-dime
