Randolf Arriola

BIOGRAPHY

Born and raised in Singapore, Randolf is a self-taught veteran musician with over 20 years of live performance experience. He specialises in live looping, a unique music-making and performance method where he creates processed loops of sound with his voice and guitar and layers them to create intricately arranged soundscapes and compositions.

Considered one of the finest solo live looping artists in the word, Randolf Arriola creates music that is weaved from a fabric of the familiar and obscure and the simple and complex. No prerecorded material is used. Each live performance is an ever-changing organism, powered by his own creative intentions and the interactions between him and the audience.

Widely regarded all around by peers in music, entertainment, education and art circles both in Singapore and abroad, Randolf recently headlined the Y2K10 International Live Looping Festival with three others in a USA tour that featured 75 artists. Currently plying his trade as the resident artist at the popular Singapore watering hole Harry’s, he has earned respect and recognition all over for his fearless creativity and innovation in creating music that reaches out and touches any listener.
