The latest HiM record is complete!
recorded and mixed in Tokyo and in California the 48 minute collection is entitled ん, and was mastered by the master Alan Douches at West West Side Music on April 14th.
the core group of Doug Scharin, Josh Larue, Takuma Nonaka, Shimpei Okaya, and Yuji Takahashi recorded many of the basic tracks with contributions from lot's of good people. Ikuko Harada once again joined us, singing on 'Creode', with words written by Tetsushi Nonaka and 'Clues To The Roots'.
Rinko Kikuchi makes her vocal debut on 'Touch' as well as on 'The Hidden Persuader'. Tonchi adds her vocal talents to the alluring and, again tentatively entitled 'The Beckoning'.
our good friend Kazuya Kotani played conga, bongo and steel pan.
Devin Ocampo recorded the horns that Mark Cisneros of Played Tomorrow tracked for us on 2 songs. Devin also played some amazing guitar on 'Makossa for Masako'.
we also received a great trumpet track from Eiríkur Orri Ólafsson of Kira Kira, MuM.
my deepest gratitude to all these beautiful people for taking their time to help make this record.
AFTERHOURS will again release the record in Japan.

Activities of Dust- A New Mind is the new release from Doug Scharin, Jeff Parker, Bill Laswell and Bernie Worrell.
"Activities of Dust - A New Mind is the result of hours of recorded feedback that had been collected from various mixing sessions over the past decade.
Within are compositions, possibility waves, constructed, originally, from manipulation of these feedback signals.
The initial impressions from Jeff Parker were then added to the recordings. Parker interpreted, reacted to and in some cases painted a definitive picture of latent melodies within the feedback structures.
Combining and blending these two elements created a basic form for the introduction of keyboard, bass and drum elements to enhance the movements taking shape in the music.
The initial mixes were done analog, in single, first takes with an emphasis on the random nature of the project. Bill Laswell and Bernie Worrell fleshed out the tracks."
The CD comes with a DVD containing the full video for Return to the Original Matrix produced by Doug Scharin!
And for vinyl lovers, a vinyl LP version is also out including a download card for the entire album in MP3.
AdLuna Records designed the CD/DVD and is releasing the record in Europe.
A New Mind is self-released here in the U.S. on AoD records.
The CD/DVD and vinyl lp is available in Japan through AFTERHOURS.
