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.
Location: Around and about the old public library in Easterhouse; disinvested in and left to rot by the council but which was shamelessly, hastily and superficially cleaned by them in expectation of our event.
Could cruising and random public sex be the basis of an ethically organised society? A discussion with Jackie Wang, Samuel R. Delany and Huw Lemmey.
Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.
The program of composed music including Feldman’s Instruments III, Ligeti’s piece for 100 Metronomes Poeme Sympathetique, and Rebonds B by Iannis Xenakis.
Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.
Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Julius’ “small music” features simple snatches of found sound, played back through small speakers, often set in bowls of pigment and dirt which shimmies in the vibrations.
Sachiko’s very simple, pure sine tones and structures. Otomo on double pianos. Filament’s music isn’t composed and it isn’t improvised: it’s a hybrid of the two.
A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
Terry is one of the most entertaining and unpredictable musicians in the London free improvising music scene. Rhodri Davies extends his instrument under a battery of techniques creating sound colours and textures quite alien to the harp.
