Born in South Florida in 1980 to Ecuadorian immigrant parents, the world-building

multi-instrumentalist Roberto Carlos Lange stitches together memories, impressions,

and atmospheres to make detailed dreamscapes as Helado Negro. He produces,

engineers, and mixes his own songs, literally creating and populating his own sonic

world. Lange has a degree in Computer Art and Animation from Savannah College of

Art and Design and works extensively with video, sculpture, sound, and performance.

He brings that toolbox to whatever he makes, and there’s a seeming effortlessness to

the complexity. His songs are awash with vibrant melodies, sharp lyrical vignettes, and

subtle, even whispered hooks. Since his 2009 debut, Awe Owe, across multiple

projects and collaborations, through his breakthrough records, 2016’s Private Energy

and 2019’s This Is How You Smile, and to 2021’s Far In, Lange’s work continues to

move past easy genre assignments. Showcasing that interest in open-ended

multidisciplinarity, in 2022, he and his wife, the artist Kristi Sword, created the

multidisciplinary exhibition, Kite Symphony, with Ballroom Marfa—it was a collection of

impressionistic installations, drawings and sound pieces that encourages listeners to

“open their ears to the sky, the sound of cacti, and the feeling of the wind on their

skin.” Lange’s ninth studio record, Phasor, picks up on that interest in the natural world

but in the form of pop music. Deep, atmospheric, and meticulously executed, it’s

Lange’s tightest collection to date. Lange has been awarded a United States Artist

fellowship and a Foundation for Contemporary Arts grant. He lives in Asheville, NC.
