Some Updates to the Portfolio

Justin Bartlett — Mon, 06 May 2013 17:12:31 GMT

I updated my portfolio with 15 or so new pieces including the Assassin's Creed 3 project, weird bat faces, and some goat-goodness. They're strung out through the various sections.

For your pleasure, here's a closeup of a goat with vagina eyes.

Gravetemple "Ambient/Ruin" Vinyl

Had to remove the other post!!! But here's some info on "Ambient/Ruin":

GRAVETEMPLE was formed in 2006 as a side-project of the band SUNN O))) by Oren Ambarchi, Stephen O'Malley and Attila Csihar. The group formed initially to tour in Israel summer 06, creating several recordings which eventually became "The Holy Down" album, which was released on Southern Lord recordings in 2007. At the time of the Israel tour, the Lebanon War started and was in action. In Summer 08 the trio reformed together with the addition of Australian drummer Matt "Skitz" Sanders for a short European tour culminating at a headlining performance at Supersonic Festival in Birmingham. In late 2009 the original trio reconvened for a special one-off concert at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts. April 2013 marks the first set of live action since that period, and a new chapter in the ongoing system of the related network.

"Ambient/Ruin" was created with the 2008 quartet, elements of tape collage, concrete, field recordings blend within a strong geographically diverse (parts were recorded in Japan, Australia, Paris and Israel) suite of heavy minimalist/maximalist music, black/death metal and drone. The culmination of these efforts become the music, literally, of Sadistik Exekution meeting Phill Niblock.

Released by Stephen O'Malley's own label Ideologic Organ and featuring my artwork. Make sure to catch them at Roadburn and other live dates around Europe in April.

In other news, I will be updating my website with a bunch of work soon. It's been a bit quiet on my front, since I took a hiatus from freelance work, but I do have some pieces I need to put up on here that are new and new-ish.
