BIO..........

Ariel Rosenberg (Ariel Pink) is a songwriter, visual and recording artist from Los Angeles, California. He is arguably the most well known and influential musician working in the American experimental pop style. He received a BFA in fine arts from the California Institute of the Arts in 2001, and helped to form the Human Ear Music label in 2006. He currently performs with 5-piece band under the new moniker “Haunted Graffiti.”

Since the age of eight he has written and recorded hundreds (if not thousands) of original songs. His music has been released to international acclaim by a number of record labels in the US, Australia, England and France. He has toured the US and Europe several times, as well as Australia, and has appeared in festivals and fine arts venues worldwide. He has performed at the Geffen Contemporary, CalArts, the Schindler House, Art Basel Miami Beach, SASSAS and Midifestival. His visual art has been collected internationally, either directly or through Fast Friends Inc. and Tiny Creatures. He has participated, collaborated, exhibited, influenced and inspired in countless numbers and the breadth of his work has yet to be surveyed and recognized.

Though his music is often lauded (or criticized) for its nostalgic sound quality, he sees his work as an impassioned and meticulous evaluation of industrial hit-making radio (and it’s psychedelic underpinnings) between roughly the mid 1970’s and the late 1980’s. He is able to pull from somewhere between the cracks of this emotionally vacuous history a holographic kind of humanness that may not have existed there. His knowledge of popular song-writing forms is vast, allowing him to arrange an impressive variety of musical idioms, all so authentically quoted that they are barely removed from the historical moment in which they emerged.
