“N,” the second single is streaming from Rahu Ketu, the debut full-length album under my own name. 👤🪐🎶 The track contains a sample from the final scene of Robert Bresson’s 1967 film Mouchette, as Mouchette repeatedly rolls down a hillside before disappearing beneath the surface of a river.
The Shadow Planets is out now, as a download on Bandcamp (name your price), on all streaming services, and as a limited edition of 40 archival prints featuring my hand-drawn cover artwork, as seen here. Thank you for listening! 👤🪐🎶 brandonlocher.bandcamp.com/album/the-sh...

From point to infinity, perfect silence to infinite dynamism, everything in between and everything simultaneously.
Last evening I returned home from a Transcendental Meditation retreat that lasted for 6 nights and 5 days. Here are a handful of books from the Vedic library. This experience and knowledge I have gained from Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and Transcendental Meditation is infinite. Jai Guru Dev. 🪷 ♾️ 🤍
I will be offline for the following week at my new temporary residence. ✌🏻#worldpeaceway
I am beginning to feel unnatural sharing finished artwork and drawings on social media. With that said, this morning I randomly found several sheets of gold leaf and added them as the final embellishment to finish a new drawing. If you'd like to view, feel free to visit: www.brandon-locher.com
I wrote about the allure of works in progress and how once a drawing is completed it forever remains, continuing in time and space unmoving and unchanged. ♾️ 🪨 Feel free to read more at: brandonlocher.substack.com 📝

This morning I had all of my wisdom teeth removed after having an infection for roughly 21+ days. All is well. A big shoutout and thanks to Dr. Delrosario and his lovely team of assistants in Johnstown, PA. I'm feeling endless love and gratitude for my amazing & supportive family: Mom, Dad, and Sis!
