Brandon Locher is best known as a visual artist, having contributed to Ghostly International’s aesthetic in recent years with striking works like his ‘Mazes to the Motherlode’ series. Locher is a musician as well, most recently recording solo under his own name and as part of the duo Stage Hands. His guest mix is a 90-minute monster of bubbly IDM, free-spirited jazz, and infinite other surprises, from artists like Daniel Lanois, Angelo Badalamenti, and Carl Stone. In Locher’s words it’s “pretty blissful, most lately I’ve been enjoying stuff that leaves you with a bit of transcendence.” Check out the mix, a quick Q&A, and a sampling of Brandon’s visual art below.
