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.
A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.
Joe Colley specialises in hotwired sound constructions full of ominous electronic disturbances and caustic, noxious drones. For KYTN, Joe created a situation of controlled chaos with 50 light sensitive oscillators placed in a field of candles.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an old underground reservoir in Fife.
Laser beam sine tones used to draw delicate, abstract patterns by vibrating charcoal, placed atop of a great strip of paper running through the gallery; beautiful, fragile sound-created autonomous drawing.

A day of presentations and discussions on the theme of audio visual perception in the context of experimental music, film and art.
Rare UK performance by legendary Japanese post punk group during their 4 drummers + synth / vocals phase.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
Three documentary films exploring diverse realities of sex workers around the world followed by a closing ceremony of the festival.
A community of those without community, for a community to come. A schizo-scenic video-collage of the disturbing ‘normality’ of Moby Dick.
Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
