'KNIGHTS OF THE SUN' by ARCANUM AZF





Knights of the Sun
by
Arcanum AZF

https://arcanumazf.bandcamp.com/album/knights-of-the-sun

'Knights of the Sun' is the third album by noise/drone duo Arcanum AZF. This time, the duo of Sova Locus and Dajjal Wolfgang focus on elements of black, sludge and drone metal, mixed in with  previous compositional tools such as electronics, keyboards and samples. Some of the sounds on 'Knights' were created using custom built objects and household items which were sound-processed and edited.

The album continues the duos interest in experimental forms of collage and soundscapes, with emphasis this time on elements like guitar riffs, drones and the melding of sounds to create atmospheric layering and textures.

LOCUTION STREAMS Drawing Mini-Exhibition


'Locution Streams'
Drawing Mini-Exhibition
by 
Sova Locus

Locution Streams is a project that explores the relationship between art and viewer, between interpretation and perception and how language can be defined. The project was hung in the Ramp at TCOTA, featuring two large A2 pen drawings along with 20 A4 size drawings. 

The main concept behind this portion of the project is to consider how 5 symbols can be interpreted as geometric drawings. 15 geometric drawings were created in relation to the 5 symbol pages, and the two A2 geometric drawings acted as a kind of mascot for the Locution Streams project in general. 

Pictures below show the displayed drawings. 





COLLECTED SCHOOL DRAWINGS 'Drone Texture'

'Drone Texture'
Drawing/Sound Installation
by
Sova Locus

These are a few rough photos of a few of my drawings which featured as my folio for a drawing class that I did. Eventually I'll try and get some more higher quality photos, but here are some basic ones for now.

'Drone Texture' was created through exploration of a site-specific area in the art school. My site featured a lot of vents and air conditioning, meaning that there was a droning hum in the room. I utilized this sound to create these drawings, which are attempts and experiments in texturing. The drawings were accompanied by a basic sound piece, which featured layered recordings of the sites sounds.








'KALEIDOSCOPIC CRUSADES' by ARCANUM AZF

Kaleidoscopic Crusades
by
Arcanum AZF

https://arcanumazf.bandcamp.com/releases

Arcanum AZF is a recently created duo of me and a close friend and fantastic visual artist Dajjal Wolfgang our first release on Bandcamp is 'Kaleidoscopic Crusades', available from the link above. The release shows off the basic conceptual themes of the duo: improvised recording, the usage and abusage of electronics and FX, and an interest and exploration into themes of the esoteric, both historically and visually.

'Kaleidoscopic Crusades' was recorded in one afternoon on Wolfgang's coffee table. Later, I spent some time mixing and editing the recordings together into four distinctive tracks. My aim with mixing 'Kaleidoscopic Crusades' was to mesh the sounds of both players together in to one coherent sonic wave of frequencies, feedback and sound.

'Barbed Topiary' EP by Shallower

Barbed Topiary
by
Shallower

https://shallowernoise.bandcamp.com/releases

The debut EP of my noise project Shallower!

Beside appearances on a few compilations, I put some effort into wrangling together many drafts and demos of Shallower sound for an EP. 'Barbed Topiary' shows a direct influence from the genres of black metal and power electronics over the course of five tracks.

It would be smart to remind the listener that my interest doesn't really lie in 'music', but more in what could be deemed 'sound'.
