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 carefully thought out, simple but rich performance using just a turntable, teach yourself foreign language LP’s, the impeccable timing of a percussionist, and an idea.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a remote sea cave near Durness.
A specially commissioned performance for organ. “The course of the stars were to be put to sound.”
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
Free jazz pianist John Blum with an everywhere-at-once presence in duo with Jackson Krall, incendiary free jazz drummer and sound sculptor
The pieces in the programme switch between silent film/ imageless sound, but we wanted to have a think about how ideas can take up residency on either side of the sound/ image border, without having to inhabit both at the same time.
Real-time video feedback loops submerged in laminal sheets of sound soaked in gauzy timbral detail and multi-valenced, buzzing overtones.
This session focuses in on the defiant mutual aid practices of early and DIY feminist movements in the UK, that attempted to shift and radicalise care and kinship away from the domain of the nuclear family.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!
Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
For day five of Ultra-red’s project, the investigation will review the previous work undertaken together, and perhaps draw up a summary of reflections and pose some future questions.
