The 2014 chart-topping sensation that started a new movement. Experience the classic Hang Drum album ‘Ceremony’, recorded in the acoustically perfect sound chamber of the Integratron, a legendary mystical setting of Joshua Tree in California's Mojave desert.​

​

James Hood: “Every sound on this record is the Hang, every sound on the record was made by my fingers on this metallic drum.”

Pure Ceremony is the continuation of the story that began with the album Ceremony in 2014.

​

This all-new double album sees James deepen the sonic exploration, adding additional instrumentation and rhythmic textures to his signature PanArt Hang soundscapes.

​

Noted ambient music writer and critic Stephen Hill: " Pure Ceremony is not just a worthy successor to its popular predecessor, but an evolutionary vehicle, where just the right amount of musical development and embellishment was added to the project."

Quantum Mind Carnival: A Sonic Collage for the Entertainment and Delight of the Human Mind is described by James Hood as "a balm for your soul. It might make you laugh, or cry or it might relax you… a trojan horse that can explode and change people’s lives, it includes Salsa, Reggae, Opera, Blues and Folk genres that help you enter another world that lets your imagination encapsulate everything.

​

Quantum Mind Carnival also features found sounds and short segments of speech that have been culled from history. A wildly stylized Debussy’s Claire DeLune is a highlight, explains Hood “ The calm mind is like a clear lake. You can listen to this on repeat, like a tunnel, it is deep. The intention is to utilize every trick in the book, the full spectrum of music and what it can instill.”
