Arius Blaze

Arius Blaze

Arius Blaze was born in Poetland Orgone; an artist with an emphasis in sound - taken with the belief, in fact, that he and most everything else is composed entirely of sound. He is also taken with the concept of bypassed technology and that, as technology progresses, there are hundreds of gaps that will need to be filled in - things to do with cassette tape, vinyl records and a fair amount of Bakelite and fine aged wood. As he strides fourth, he is, as it were, taking simultaneous leaps backwards.

Having done this simultaneous backwards/forward artistic traveling professionally for around eleven years, we can estimate that his current aspirations as well as his split sonic being exist in both 1988 and also 2021 at the moment this is written. Hence the concept of his work - the future, the past, in collision. Though if one were to consider some exponential artistic growth similar in nature to that of the Fibonacci, we can consider that the work of Arius Blaze is currently grinding through both 1946 and 2074 simultaneously and working toward the Tesla era (in both directions) - which seems to be more the case given the current aesthetic. Being the head of Folktek, one can expect to see the concept live and breathe on, and as it delves further into the past and the future it will without a doubt grow and become something more deeply unfathomable - like most things that we have yet to see exist in the present.

Arius Blaze also works with visual arts, wood craft, bookbinding, book writing, music composition and greater sound art sculpture and installation.
