I've spent my entire life in northern Alabama, which is prone to tornadoes relatively often. Hivulus was started as a way of expressing the comfort that severe weather brings me. I plan on branching out thematically with this project in the future. I’ve recently discovered an affinity for lo-fi atmospheric black metal and dungeon synth, and I think those genres have a lot of creative potential.
