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.
Los Glissandinos work with clarinet and sine tones beating and thrumming in your middle ear, all beautifully paced and serene, but with just enough steely menace broiling under the surface to keep you on edge.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
Transfeminist, communist, revolutionary poetry that refuses to flinch. Nat Raha presents new work in the nine.
The worlds leading radio art station brings you: a performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an old underground reservoir in Fife.
Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
Audio signals pass through light bulbs, causing the filaments of the bulbs to sing and crackle in a chorus of electronic static.
From really simple, open instructions, An Unrhymed Chord creates a kind of half-way point between composition and improvisation.
Durational group-mind drone and clatter: bamboo, electronics, the contents of your local ironmongers bin. A 3-hour set from this legendary Japanese improvisation group.
Taku’s actions strip back musical performance to one of its original proposals: what is an action and how does it create a situation for spending time together, for paying attention?
Each of these films addresses place, landscape or location and the personal reaction to their magical or concrete properties. Watch out for Kren’s structural, throbbing investigation of a forest and Baillie’s intimate and humble essay on a blind guitarist and the relationship between songs of Mexican revolutionaries and the people and places they looked to inspire.
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
