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.

Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
A chat with Rashad about the communist, conceptual methodology that informs his ground-breaking synthetic music—a form of speculative sonic fiction writing to produce hyperreal non-representational auditive experiences.
A loud, buzzing stew of electrical light as noise and convulsive electric guitar squall.
