Locust

Locust (Mark Van Hoen) is an electronic music artist from London, UK currently based in Brooklyn NY. He has been working in television and radio since leaving school at 16 and whose musical output since last year has offered the world of Ambient electronic music something with a greater depth and a sense of progression.
But the essence of Locust is music that Mark, and only Mark, has performed and recorded. His initial series of releases on Apollo covered the years 1983-1987 and 1991-1994; the compositions on all these records were generated almost entirely using analogue synthesizers. With the follow-on album, Truth Is Born Of Arguments however, things changed quite substantially. Partly instigated by the explosion of the Jungle movement, but mostly by developing new techniques, this album was based on sampling and digital sound manipulation.
