Aarktica is the brainchild of Jon DeRosa, who has been releasing a diverse catalog of music under this name since 1998. Aarktica is known for primarily using guitars – along with mostly organic instruments like brass, strings and voices – to create its unique textural sound. As the origin story goes, after going deaf in one ear, DeRosa began recording audio experiments as a way to interpret sound as he now experienced it. These early audio endeavors, recorded on a 4-track cassette recorder, developed into what would become the first Aarktica album “No Solace In Sleep." It was also around this time that DeRosa began studying with minimalist pioneer, composer La Monte Young. These studies would greatly influence all of DeRosa’s music in the years to follow. Aarktica’s sonically diverse audio explorations span decades, straddling the lines of shoegaze and ambient, jazz and drone, to electro-pop and post-rock. Aarktica's new album "We Will Find The Light" will be released 9/30/2022.
