Arca

About

Arca isn't just making music; she's sculpting sonic landscapes that are both terrifying and breathtaking. The Venezuelan producer, DJ, singer, and composer, born Alejandra Ghersi, detonates genre boundaries with a sound that's a visceral blend of experimental electronic music, deconstructed club, industrial noise, and avant-pop. Arca’s work is immediately identifiable by its hyper-kinetic, almost brutalist sound design, often punctuated by her own haunting, processed vocals. Her career trajectory is a masterclass in artistic evolution. From early production work with Kanye West and FKA twigs to her critically acclaimed solo albums *Xen*, *Mutant*, *Arca*, *KiCk i*, *KiCk ii*, *KicK iii*, *KiCk iiii* and *KiCK iiiii*, Arca has continuously pushed the boundaries of sound. Her collaborations extend to Björk, Rosalía, and Kelela, cementing her status as a sought-after collaborator. Beyond her musical output, Arca's influence extends into the visual realm, cultivating a striking and otherworldly aesthetic that complements her sound. She’s a trans icon, fearlessly exploring themes of identity, gender fluidity, and the body in her art. With each release, Arca solidifies her position as one of the most innovative and vital voices in contemporary music, a visionary constantly redefining what electronic music can be. She continues to perform and release music, most recently contributing to various film scores.
