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.
Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.

One of the most arresting and unique improvisers in Japan, creating an original and powerful body of free music.
