Ariel My Friend is an independent solo musician, multimedia artist and performer based in Leipzig, Germany. His musical style is a stream-of-consciousness influenced blend of synthwave, singer-songwriter, electronic music, pop, psychedelic & progressive rock with symphonic influences, which usually results in slightly eccentric, slightly complex and rather catchy anthems. His video art is characterized by a collage-like blend of sources - from found YouTube footage to AI generated videos to self-made stop motion animation, original live action footage, and digital animation.
