(hE) finished their second and latest album and the first to be publicly released. Goes by the name of THE HUMAN IN SEARCH FOR SILENCE. The name is inspired by the absence of peace and harmony in our modern lifestyles. The album was recorded in its majority in what is formerly known as Ochoa Studio, now Digitec; the same studio used by recording artists such as Marc Anthony, Gilberto Santarosa and Fabian's own father Wilkins.
While recording this album, Fabian told me how he was just a kid when he first entered that giant studio hall (One of the biggest in Puerto Rico anyway). "The smell hasn't changed!" he said as we watched Lumen, his own little kid, play soccer with a beach ball inside the same room he took naps while his father worked.
The fact that they used the same studio as Fabian's father is really a random coincidence. Fabian has formal studies in sound engineering from Full Sail. When he was looking for a place to record a client he stumbled upon the possibility to use that space because a friend told him that they where looking for sound engineers.
THE HUMAN IN SEARCH FOR SILENCE was recorded using digital and analog formats during the course of two months. The reason for the relative short time of the recording process was because most songs were recorded by the musicians playing them live instead of recording them one instrument at a time.
With this album we found a style that feels like making a contribution to the Ambient Electronic/Nu-Jazz music scene. We encourage you to enjoy this album as a whole.
