Rojin Sharafi

Rojin Sharafi, a Tehran-born, Vienna-based sound artist, performer, and composer, fuses raw and abstract emotions with electronic elements that emulate acoustic sounds. Her distinctive musical language intertwines acoustic elements, replicating electronic textures and vice versa, resulting in a synthesis of resilient yet vulnerable and honest sonic expressions.

Using a mix of analog, acoustic, and augmented instruments, alongside custom-designed digital tools, Sharafi gained recognition for her debut album, "Urns Waiting to be Fed," described as “one of [2019’s] most ecstatic and fiercely original hours of music” by The Quietus. Following this success, she released "Zangaar" in 2020 and "Kariz" in 2021. In 2023, Sharafi, together with her band members from HUUUM, published their debut album—an exploration of folk futurism.
