Chicago-based artist Terence Hannum has been working with the imagery and rituals of underground music subcultures for some time - both as a performer in the bands Locrian and Unlucky Atlas, and as a visual artist using drawing, painting, video and publications.

The man has a deep love of music and a particularly strong interest in self-publishing. We're not even going to try to count how many 'zines, cassettes, buttons, flyers, posters and records this guy has made at this point, but we are very happy to continue selling his stuff. Hannum's 'zines have been getting increasingly experimental and imaginative with a new shift in form or technique with each successive effort.

Lately Hannum has given himself the mandate to make a new 'zine every month. Summoning consists of a small white cardboard jewelry box with a glued printed insert inside and on the bottom, a 3" audio CD, a booklet and a paper band holding it all together. It's a precious package that works as an independent publication as well as a great relic from an audio piece at Peregrine Projects in Chicago this summer where Hannum installed a wall mounted sound work that played through a reel to reel deck, accompanied by occultish white on black paintings on paper of speaker cabinets and gloomy spaces. The 22 minute sound piece is a beautiful abstract drone made from a vocal loop (though we're not sure we'd know the sound source if Hannum didn't reveal it).

Only 45 copies of this exist so you know what to do.
