"ARPCHIVES LIVE is back next with a very exciting guest! Haasan Barclay is an accomplished Boston-based artist who has participated in our ARPS for All program, utilizing the collection to broaden his spectrum of work. Join us as we sit down with him to discuss synthesizers and his work.

Check out his bio:
Haasan Barclay is a recording artist, songwriter, and record producer from Boston, MA. Growing up in the early internet age, his music represents the melding of classic pop sensibilities with a fresh, modern intensity. His creative approach to short form video has amassed millions of views across social media, acclaim from music critic Anthony Fantano of The Needle Drop, and led to partnerships with brands like Topo Chico, FILES, and GIPHY. His most recent project, 800 Fantasy Lane explores the vulnerabilities of black masculinity in America while blurring the boundaries between genres to achieve a sound that Jamz Supernova of BBC 1 Xtra described as, 'post Frank Ocean funk rock.' Haasan's work has been featured in Pitchfork, Complex, NPR, and Allston Pudding, as well as through exhibitions at the Institute of Contemporary Art and Boston Center for the Arts.
