Lombardo spoke with Metallart.org back in November. He discusses his new band Philm, playing live and up front on stage, and his art collection with SceneFour:

Lombardo unveiled his art collection on November 21st, 2014 and is working with art team SceneFour on the creation of an art collection built from the new medium of rhythm-on-canvas. In this short video, Lombardo discusses creating a collection of artwork through rhythm:

In a new interview with music writer Joel Gausten, Lombardo discusses a variety of topics including his new fine art series Rhythm Mysterium, his current project Philm and his guest appearance on Sepultura's 2013 album, The Mediator Between Head And Hands Must Be The Heart.

Thanks to a collaboration with the Los Angeles-based visual team SceneFour, Lombardo recently unveiled Rhythm Mysterium, a fine art series comprised of 12 different pieces. After accepting an invitation to be one of SceneFour's artist drummers, Lombardo was photographed in the dark using an array of drumsticks and rhythmic accessories that produce light, much like a painter utilizing brushes and oils. The movements featured within the captured rhythms were then studied and developed into abstract artwork. Lombardo selected and named the dozen pieces featured in the collection, while each numbered canvas in the series is signed by the man himself.

From the moment he first sat down to do the session, Lombardo knew it would be an unforgettable experience.

“Where we photographed the pieces was very inspiring,” he says. “It was in a kind of warehouse in Downtown Los Angeles, so it sounded really good. It was just a big, cavernous room. I just went off, and they started snapping pictures... At certain points, as I noticed the way they were shooting the pictures and everything, I realized, 'Wow, I could really make this picture look better if I give it my flair or my style. When I’m on stage, I’ve noticed that I swing my arms a little more. My movements are more exaggerated. I don't restrain myself when I play; my arms are swinging all over the place. So in this environment, instead of just doing a solo for myself, I gave it that live performance feel. That's why I feel that these pictures show a little more excitement, because of the way I approached the drumming.”
