JOMO (aka Luddy Harrison and Pan Luoyi) have released their first album under the Dong Music International label, celebrating the release with a live show at Star Live in Beijing on April 24, 2009. Instrumental sounds on the album were created using a Virus TI for the bulk of the ordinary electronic sounds, Kyma for special or difficult sounds, and a V-Synth for fills. Pan Luoyi's airy-yet-precise vocals are in English (she plans to release the same songs in Mandarin at a later date) blending with Luddy's lush, densely layered, calmly-paced instrumental parts, peppered with intriguing sound-effects.   Break Your Heart could be the theme song for a film noir remake of a Bond film. You can hear excerpts from the new album at the Dong Music's website.

JOMO is available on Amazon China with an international release planned soon (watch the Jomo website for updates). While you're there, be sure to check out Luddy's blog on his experiences as a new immigrant to China.
