LOOK OVER IN THE SCULPTURE PORTION OF THE PORTFOLIO TO SEE A NEW 3D PRINT AND LASER CUT ACRYLIC SCULPTURE.

Celebrating 15 years since its original release, The Crystal World returns in a definitive reissue, marking a turning point in the sonic legacy of Locrian. Comprised of André Foisy, Terence Hannum, and Steven Hess, the trio has carved a path at the crossroads of drone, noise, ambient, and metal — a sound that resists genre and reverberates with emotional weight. The Crystal World marked a transformative chapter where abstraction gave way to narrative—not just for Locrian, but for the broader experimental music landscape. Reissued with intention and care, this recording returns not simply as a document of a band in metamorphosis, but as a timeless, immersive artifact—one that continues to refract new light with each listen.

A marked change had come over the forest, as if dusk had begun to fall. Everywhere the glacé sheaths which enveloped the trees and vegetation had become duller and more opaque. The crystal floor underfoot was occluded and gray, turning the needles into spurs of basalt. The brilliant panoply of colored light had gone, and a dim amber glow moved across the trees, shadowing the sequined floor. At the same time it had become considerably colder.

The Crystal World, the third studio album from Locrian, is an epic journey. Titled after JG Ballard’s 1964 novel that tells the story of a physician who specializes in leprosy sent to a remote African outpost to discover a jungle that is slowly crystallizing and encroaching upon everything it touches. On The Crystal World, Terence Hannum, and André Foisy, are joined by Steven Hess on percussion and electronics. Hess’ contribution pushes Locrian deeper into the abyss of despair rendering a sound that is darker, bleaker, and engulfing than any of the group’s previous releases. Locrian continue the conceptual trajectory of blackened drone that the group initially embarked on during their first studio album Drenched Lands (2009). Masters of layering, The Crystal World finds the group manipulating tones and textures that transport the listener to an apocalyptic wasteland. At times, the layers are serene and somber, at other times they are chaotic.

The Crystal World is Locrian's essential release, finding the band creating a sound all of their own. A sound that evades simplistic analogies to black metal, power-electronics, noise, or other categories. This is the album that will stun fans of the bands previous works with how far the group has come from their early releases.

Arsenic Solaris unveils a new release that merges sonic experimentation with dense atmospheres: a split between TORU and BRUTALISM. Two distinct entities, united by a shared desire to explore the boundaries of sound.

TORU, a French band spread across Lyon, Nice, and Marseille, delivers a monumental 22-minute piece titled Witches' Cliff. Composed and recorded over two days in the studio, this track is built around an electroacoustic approach and immersive sonic storytelling. Blending hypnotic ambient, drone, and doom/sludge, the band crafts a soundscape that is both eerie and contemplative, where distant echoes and telluric rumblings resonate like a pagan ritual performed by a community of witches atop a cliff, where the ocean crashes below.

BRUTALISM, a solo project based in Baltimore, Maryland (USA), is led by Terence Hannum (Locrian, Holy Circle, Axebreaker...). Inspired by the raw and monolithic aesthetics of the Brutalist architectural movement, Brutalism sculpts a sound that navigates between ambient, drone, and atmospheric black metal, constructing massive sonic structures where distorted layers intertwine with shoegaze textures and ghostly field recordings. His two tracks weave a dense and spectral atmosphere, oscillating between contemplation and subterranean tension, leading the listener through the labyrinthine corridors of a towering concrete and steel megastructure.

US/North America orders can go through Anathemata Editions

One of my recent painting of 3D Printed machines will be in this exhibition.

New work posted of an installation.

"Fruiting Bodies" was inspired by sci-fi and taking a basic form of a slime mold and mutating it in multiple iterations adding blooms, buds and blossoms. The idea is to generate dozens of forms to replicate across a wall or corner.

My postcard "The Disintegration of the Dream" (Watercolor and gouache on paper)is available from the VISUAL AIDS benefit at Berry Campbell HERE

"Fruiting Bodies" installed in the pop-up group exhibition DREAMSCAPES that opens 01/24/25 at 1750 Union Ave (down the ramp) in Baltimore, MD from 6-9pm.

My recent mezzotint publication "The Illusion of Sleep" printed by Lanesville Press is now available from Printed Matter Inc. in NYC HERE

I will have a postcard available in the POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE exhibition and benefit for VISUAL AIDS at Berry Campbell 01/24.

Art zine featuring remnants of 3D printed rafts of sculptures by Terence Hannum.

From the zine:
"In the realm of 3D Printing, particularly the FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling) process, the creation of a raft, or foundational footprint, is often required to ensure the adhesion of the print to the build plate. This prelude to the final form, while functional in nature, often manifests as a strange, almost alien pattern – an unanticipated growth of filament that mirrors an offset of the base profile - and also a wild and chaotic geometry reminiscent of a forgotten biome. These preliminary layers serve as the root to a more deliberate structure, yet, they are unpredictable – disequilibrating the user’s intentions as they blossom into unforeseen patterns."

A new visualizer I made for the new LOCRIAN video:
Excarnate Light Video

“Excarnate Light is a key track from our new album “End Terrain,” a concept album exposing a vision of the world consumed by waste.” – explain the members of Locrian, talking about todays’ premiere. “Excarnate Light” works in movements building and then disassembling and then reconstructing itself again. Lyrically it is about not even knowing if we were to go extinct, that humanity would be so self-involved the moment would just slip on by – that we wouldn’t notice.”

ANATHEMATA EDITIONS

There is a new LOCRIAN album coming out.

More info:

"Experimental metal trio LOCRIAN are a prophetic voice of decline and a pioneering force in the world of metal. LOCRIAN’s sonic tapestry weaves elements of black metal, ambient, and experimental music, creating a genre-defying experience that pushes the boundaries of conventional metal norms. Their new album “End Terrain” set for release on April 05, is the proper follow-up to 2015’s “Infinite Dissolution” (Relapse Records) and continues in the vein of LOCRIAN’s distinguishable sonic blueprint brought forth from said release along with such albums as the Relapse Records released “Return To Annihilation” and “The Clearing/The Final Epoch”. 2022 saw the return of LOCRIAN making their return on their Profound Lore debut “New Catastrophism” which saw the trio explore and return back to the more experimental side of their roots.

“End Terrain” is the group’s most direct and concise work to date. More complex and layered than anything in the prolific trio’s catalog, “End Terrain” is a concept album exposing a vision of a future earth consumed by waste. An apocalyptic landscape, inhabited by a generation who despise their parentage and a dying breed fully aware of the wasteland they have left. Mountains of trash and an uninhabitable planet, endless and dead. End Terrain is about inertia and regret, about the future and a mirror to the present, about mourning and extinction.

A seamless and harrowing blend of experimental, post-rock, and post-metal, “End Terrain” is the perfect manifestation of modern, forward-thinking experimental music pushed to a maximalist conclusion.

In the ever-evolving realm of extreme music, LOCRIAN stands as a testament to the power of artistic exploration. Their geographical spread mirrors the expansive sonic landscapes they traverse, cementing their status as trailblazers in the avant-garde metal scene.

My band Locrian have announced the release of a new EP, “Solar Lodge,”.

The EP consists of Locrian’s re-imagination of Coil’s “Solar Lodge” along with remixes of Locrian’s version of the track by Paul Riedl (Blood Incantation), TV-CRIMES (from Domes, a member of Fulci), and Jonathan Canady (Deathpile & Shadow Structure).

André Foisy of Locrian commented: “In 2022, we started looking back to the roots of our project, specifically our mutual interest in experimental, avant-garde, and ambient music. This examination of our foundation as a group led us back to our shared respect for Coil in how they expanded sonic boundaries and explored unconventional themes. From 2014 through the last time we played live in 2016, we closed our live sets with a cover version of “Solar Lodge.” Last year, we recorded our take on that track, a song that alludes to the Coil’s interest in exploring hidden dimensions of consciousness.”

EXHIBITION opens 09/30 2-5pm

"Calling attention to fragments and often overlooked materials, the artists in this exhibition excavate new possibilities through ephemera, creating preservative systems of contemplation. Morphing diverse materials, locals, and procedures, these artists create a fresh domain of autonomy. These artists blend traditional and innovative processes going in and out of the static vessel of tradition. Through abstract strategies, these works navigate and exhaust natural material stability. Creating permanent containers, these artists present the viewer with fragmented elements that contextualize and reevaluate our perception of local ecosystems, providing us with new adaptable possibilities. These compositions break through the surface, reconsidering current norms, functions, presence, and permanence. The conversation between artist and object, humans and things, allows us to confront and amplify voices that deal with contemporary culture and notions around what requires preservation."

I modeled these mutated datura flowwers in Mudbox before printing them in translucent 3D filament.

Made to be mounted to the wall my idea was to begin destroying botanical accuracy and allowing the forms to shift and mutate.

Ongoing installation involving glow-in-the-dark filament (PLA) on Makerbots. Growing every week.

Featuring a model I made in Mudbox of the bloom of Datura truncated at different angles.
