Forces

Description

In eighteen years of existence and with nearly five albums to their name, the French duo Arca - composed of Joan Cambon and Sylvain Chauveau - has defined a singular musical universe based on sonic research and melody.After eight years of absence, Arca returns to us with Forces, featuring 13 tracks evoking individuals living in conflict zones around the Mediterranean Sea over the past forty years. It is an attempt at confrontation, a dive into the intimate relationship with war and its multiple representations that shape us. What does daily life represent when living in a state of war, far from the distorting filters of media and fictions that condition our view of things at the heart of a conflict? Forces thus questions our deep relationship with images and the way it structures our feelings in a relatively protected Europe."A true tour de force and emotion that is hard not to become addicted to." Trip-Hop.net"Orchestral, luminous, inhabited by the voice of Sylvain Chauveau who, quietly, is not so far from a David Sylvian and bears the mark of the repetitive influence of a Steve Reich or a Tortoise."
