Biography
Erostratus is a Los Angeles-based electronic artist. Founded in 2008 by its sole member, Aaron Jacob, Erostratus began as an extension of a project while studying graphic design at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA.
The premise of the project was to create a fictionalized musician or group in which students would subsequently design album art, logos, merchandise and more as a study of music's relationship to design. Aaron decided to also engage his history of music and indulge his love of multiple genres, and took the project a step further by writing music for what would eventually become his first album "Halogenhalo" under the name Erostratus.
The artist's name originates from a short story written by Jean-Paul Sartre in a collection of short stories from "The Wall". The album's name and song titles originate from a series of short stories and poems written by Aaron previous to the start of the project.
Today, Aaron Jacob continues to write music as Erostratus and plans on releasing much more material in the near future.
