HiM becomes a band. our point of departure incorporates elements of jazz improvisation, dub punctuation and electronic soundscapes - relying heavily on the synthesis of the collected influences of this diverse and inspiring combination of people. the result is music that seamlessly combines the live sound and communication of an improvised recording session with something electronic and entirely new. powerful instrumentals evoking the conflict between architect and alchemist, journey and destination. survival, surrender and faith.
