Today, the Spotlight shines on visual artist, professor, and experimental musician Terence Hannum.Terence wears many hats. He is a visual artist, professor, and one-third of the experimental trio Locrian. It's the 15th anniversary reissue of Locrian's The Crystal World (Utech Records), that brings us together today. This album marked a turning point for the band, transforming them from a duo into a full trio and giving structure to their sprawling sonic explorations.
The record takes its name and inspiration from J.G. Ballard's 1966 novel, which is about a jungle consumed by crystalline forces. Terence and his band mates created their version of that suspended, transformative world through layers of drone, metal, and ambient sound.
Terence's here to discuss this landmark release and share how his background in religious studies and visual art continues to shape his approach to making music.
