Arch stands for immersive, experimental, electro-acoustic, IDM and avant-garde audio experiences.
We want to re-invent the term ‘ambient’ to encompass all the dynamics, transcendent melodic content and experimental textures that electronic music has to offer, when removed from the four-to-the-floor club template.
Recording and performing music for arch should be a liberating experience that can lead to artistic self-discovery and expanded forms of expression.
Things we like: complex melodies, hypnotising rhythms, irregular tunings, sequencer patterns, sub-bass, delay, spoken word, film samples.
