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.
