Crecelius is the music and art of Chris Crecelius. Born and raised in southern Missouri, Chris found a deep connection with nature, which would later influence his creative work. He began playing guitar at an early age and started composing original songs soon after. In his adult life, Chris began experimenting with visual arts by using elevation data and cartographic practices to generate abstract and sometimes psychedelic visualizations. His current musical work ranges from classical ensembles to heavy metal, experimental soundscapes, and Americana.

Now based in Montana, he continues to perform widely, drawing inspiration from the region’s landscape and arts communities. Chris is part of the musical duo DECOR with longtime collaborator Izzytime and also appears in the science-fiction audio drama Dark Journeys. Other projects currently include the Black Sabbath tribute Sabbath Worship, string band Spirit Dust, cello/classical guitar duo Zimmerman-Crecelius as well as performing with a wide range of artists.
