Arika have been creating events since 2001. The Archive is space to share the documentation of our work, over 600 events from the past 20 years. Browse the archive by event, artists and collections, explore using theme pairs, or use the index for a comprehensive overview.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an old underground reservoir in Fife.
Ecstatic, scalding and ludicrously heavy, nobody matches Incapacitants for live noise energy. One of the most exhilarating live acts in underground music.
An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
Blissed-out sun-dappled drone ragas of the highest order, with a metal-tinged signature sound of plucked and bowed strings.
Usurper luddite twins’ disabled instruments play a game of pick-up-sticks with the deconstructed horn of a young Derby opponent.
“I am truly without faith. In a media marketplace that demands soulness, I can only offer soulnessless.”
Jarrod Fowler creates a social space where layered one-to-one live encounters with the audience become sonic material.
Wordless, reverb drenched voice, ghosted electronics, seething and ferocious electronic damage and Patty Waters style vocal mania.
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
A kind of an informal overview of INSTAL.
An assembly to try and provide some experiential and theoretical resources for the renewal of a certain affective, extra-political sociality, in the face of one of our great adversaries; the forces of colonial, imperial, genocidal denial.
During Episode 9 we made this clip with Storyboard P at Kinning Park Complex. Video by Ash Reid.
