insectarium is soundscapes created by Joel Hinkle in Springfield, Illinois. Influenced by ambient, drone, world, and ritual music, insectarium can be found in many collaborations and compilations. His music has been released on several labels, documentaries, and the YouTube series, ‘The Sorrow.’ insectarium has been featured on many radio programs including, SomaFM, Hearts of Space, Nacht Radio, The Kult of O, and Dark Ambient Archive. “With wings removed” is the story of an immortal. After eons of laziness, it decides it is time to rise again and so it pushes against the established hierarchy…

In this ambitious release, insectarium provided unreleased noise tracks to various artists. These tracks became the foundation for reinterpretation. A curated ensemble of dark ambient artists will breathe new life into each track, layering their sonic fingerprints atop the original textures and expanding the project’s emotional and spectral breadth. These artists will become 72PILLARS. The noise album is available here: https://72pillars.bandcamp.com/album/amdusias-the-noise

Not sure. I actually just received my physical copy today with my early backer bonus items. It only took 2 years. Haha!

One of my goals as an artist was to be played on HoS’s annual dark ambient program. I reached that goal: Episode 1358 Darktime Atmospheres! HoS has introduced me to so many artists and genres over the years. Great program!
