Mark Van Hoen

:(This page is about Mark Van Hoen's alias name of Locust. For the American band of the same name, see Locust).
Mark Van Hoen (born September 1966, Croydon, London, England) is an English electronic music artist, who was previously member of Seefeel and Scala. He has created music under the alias of Locust, and his group, Autocreation. Pitchfork said, "Musically, Van Hoen belongs to a distinguished family tree. Originally influenced by the likes of Brian Eno and Tangerine Dream, and later presaging both Autechre's glitch and Boards of Canada's pastoral IDM, with his latest album Van Hoen would fit in just as well alongside White Rainbow or Atlas Sound on a current label like Kranky: He combines oceanic drone with pop lyricism, using technology as a catalyst."
