Arca

Arca is a french project initiated by Joan Cambon and Sylvain Chauveau at the beginning of the year 2000. Arca is a reference to the portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa : the word "arca" meaning "chest" in Portuguese (Pessoa left most of his writings inside a chest that was discovered after he died).

Arca is inspired by music, cinema, literature, photographs, every day life sounds. Arca uses "warm" electronic sounds, mixed with organic instruments, rainy guitars and Sylvain's voice (since the third album) to draw melancholic landscapes.
