From myth to legend Rowland Howard appeared on the early Melbourne punk scene like a phantom out of Kafkaesque Prague or Bram Stoker's Dracula. A beautifully gaunt and gothic aristocrat the unique distinctive fury of his guitar style shot him directly into the imagination of a generation. He was impeccable; the austerity of his artistry embodied in his finely wrought form. Autoluminescent captures moments with the man himself and intimate missives from those who knew him behind closed doors; words and images etch light into what has always been the mysterious dark.
