He is better than aphex twin,autechre and opn
Only homophobic neckbeards would think otherwise
It goes without saying
He's gone beyond the AFX/OPN of this generation. He's something entirely different and better
Yeah, it's obvious. Listen to Mutant and then listen to elseq and Garden of Delete and you'll see that he's operating on an entirely different level. Savior of electronic music in 2016 desu.
Whos this homo?

When did we start loving Arca?
>>66162550
He's been loved on this board forever, though there was a slight backlash with Xen.
>>66162550
since Yeezus
>>66162429
>He is better than aphex twin,autechre and opn
you can't compare them, they are really different. But yes Arca is amazing !
Mutant 2015 AOTY : )
>>66162550
2013 &&&&&
>>66162550
for me, Mutant
One of my favorite albums of all time
idk if I agree with this post but he is definitely a lot handsomer
qt3.14 of the decade imho
>>66163970
He would be a 9.5/10 with a full beard
only tangentially related, but one time total freedom tweeted that he wanted to "fuck autechre" and arca liked the tweet so i've wanted to see a scenario with arca and ae ever since desu
>>66164079
>total freedom
who?
>>66162429
He's actually not good lol fucking christ
He relies so heavily on effects, take them away and he's nothing.

mate....
(he hangs in the same crew as lotic, arca, etc)
>>66164196
I saw he was featured on Arca's new mixtape, just didn't know who he was
I liek it. Also did not know arca and lotic were in the same crew
>>66163987
I enjoy the clean-shaven look, but would definitely love to see this happen too
>>66164230
>he doesn't know about the experimental gay electronica scene
m8
why do arcabois constantly accuse his detractors of homophobia, like fucking get over it
>>66164248
do you have any more arca buddies to spoonfeed me?
pls...
electrospork
like the new tape thing ya it was good, especially the voices and grunts, ya ending was good too with the boom and bang bang, i did enjoy well
mutant was literally just parmegiani for plebs
>>66164323
just cuz he done it first doesn't me he did it better
>>66164196
rabit, m.e.s.h, lsdxoxo
Well, duh.
Gay people always make the best music.
Those are all good bands
Nothing arca has done can compare to what autechre released a couple hours ago
https://twitter.com/AE_STORE_/status/750075262851842048
>>66164405
he did it first AND better.
>>66162429
no, no, just no
I don't want /mu/ to suddenly become an Arca worship zone
he is the least good out of all the big experimental electronic artists right now
>>66164765
Rank them
>>66162429
I don't know how the meme came to call him "gay autechre" when "aphex twink" would be so much better
>>66164480

Do you have actual reasons as to why you don't like Arca or can you only speak in memes?

Arca is just a wannabe OPN. he brings nothing new to the table that the other three artists didn't do a lot better.

>>66164878
lmao dean blunt and opn is what you consider good music lmao
classic homophobic /mu/ always behind

kek they don't even make the same style of music
>>66164919
>>66164941
What is he doing that's new? Most of the dudes on Janus have surpassed him anyway. And people like Theo Burt and Lorenzo Senni >>> Arca
>>66164941
there is no future you fucking idiot
>>66164978
>Janus, Theo Burt, Lorenzo Senni the list goes on....
>>66164978
new new new new lmao. This is the only thing you can bring up to discredit arca lmao.
don't even try to be cute and bring up the berlin scene that tries to copy arca and is still miles behind
that hate is real on this board gosh
>>66165021
Janus isn't one person you fucking meme
>>66164161
pink floyd relies so heavily on instruments, take them away and they're nothing
>>66162520
haven't listened to elseq but garden of delete isn't close to opn's best work
>>66165047
You keep talking about how he's "the future" - that would imply that he's doing something new/revolutionary.
it's nice seeing gay men who go after their ambitions.
feminine men are generally superior anyways, but it's nice when they succeed.
>>66165051
>OPN, Dean Blunt the list goes on...
That's the extent of your argument. Throwing out names of other artists with no backing
>>66165067
I know. That's what I was saying.
>>66164108
Hood By Air
>>66165047
oh I get it, you're shitposting
>>66162429
he would probably be 10x bigger if he didn't throw the "IM GAY LOL" thing in peoples faces every waking chance he gets
>>66165128
I don't want him to get any more popular than he is. He'll sell out like Daniel did
also OPN > Arca > Ferraro > Blunt
>>66165128
thats the only reason why he's relevant in some circles.
i say this as a fan.
>>66165077
he's way more futuristic than those artist you namedropped who sound like charles cohen and ben zimmerman wannabes
>>66165124
thats you boo :0
>>66165128
The scene is almost totally gay so it's understandable to be proud of that
>>66165128
>straight person telling gay person how to behave
lol
>>66165128
It's actually a big time for the scene now so you're totally wrong
>>66165128
T.straight white male
>>66165173
How is Arca futuristic at all? It's literally just grimier musique concrete. There's nothing novel about his production techniques either.
>>66165128
this, I feel like I can't take him seriously as an artist when he's uploading selfies of himself in women's clothes to the internet.
>>66165247
there is NOTHING wrong with that my man
>>66165267
he's an attention whore
that's the problem
not the gayness
>>66165247
Arca doesn't even take himself seriously. I'm pretty sure he doesn't care
>>66165238
he's trolling, reread this:
>>66165047
>berlin scene copying him
>copying him
>copying
LITERALLY the best electronic artist of the past five years
And he's only getting better
Why are you even comparing them? I honestly don't see how those 4 artists are all that similar and they're all talented. I dunno why /mu/ has to turn everything into a competition...
>>66165333
you little beta fag everything IS a competition
>>66165297
there's an unfortunate amount of overlap between the attention whore circle and the gay circle of the venn diagram of the queer community
>>66162429
On a technical level, at the very least, but the sound he aims for is completely different than what OPN tries to do. To be honest, I have been disappointed with OPN for the last couple of years.
I still think that Ash Koosha is pretty similar to Arca, but not as ambitious.
>>66165391
>On a technical level
nah

I listened to Mutant and Kelela's Hallucinogen. Arca's work is okay, but didn't seem like anything too special. Is there something else of his I should be listening to?
>>66165565
this is almost definitely a transcode right?
>>66165616
He used to be. He's stagnated with his post R + 7 work in my opinion.
>>66162429
i can name at least four faggots who make more interesting electronic music than him off the top of my head
>>66164480
Is this one of their max patches...?
>>66165616
nah
>>66165655
go ahead
>>66165643
no clue I just copy and pasted from the other thread
He's an amazing producer but younger producers are catching up with him fast

not too bad
6.5/10 based on those five tracks
>tfw you will never be in bed with Arca watching old black and white movies on a rainy fall day. you'll never catch his eyes shyly eyeing you. this'll make him blush and bury his face into a decorative pillow so you won't see how red he got. you'll try to make him feel better by playfully kissing his cheek and exposed shoulder and he slowly uncovers his face and you lock eyes.
>tfw you won't inch towards him, kissing his supple lips as his hand clumsily fondles under the blankets trying to find your throbbing erection
>you'll never bury your face in his boipussy after he gives you amazing oral sex
>you'll never lick his cute little asshole and taint to get him ready for your precum covered rod and you won't explode deep inside him as he cums all over his smooth belly from prostate stimulation alone
life is pain, lads ._.
>>66165641
&&&&&, Stretch 2, Stretch 1 in that order probably
He's gone downhill imo. Mutant and Xen were pretty eh.
>>66165766
is Arca a top or bottom?
If I had to guess I'd say bottom
Arca, the project of New York-based and later London-based Venezuelan-born producer Alejandro Ghersi, debuted with three EPs that ranked among the most original revisions of the hip-hop canon of the decade.
The first official album, Xen (Mute, 2014), covers an even broader range of formats. The twisted eclectic ambitions are well summarized by opener Now You Know, whose synths paint pomp and suspense over spastic beats. That is almost the peak of intensity. The only moments that get close to a violent feeling are the haunting disjointed flickering cubistic collage of Xen and the swirling industrial dance of Bullet Chained. There is, in fact, an opposite drift at work, heralded by the piano sonata Held Apart and fully expressed by the album's standout Sisters, which is almost a neoclassical singalong. But the neoclassical tension of Wound never coalesces and Family Violence is torn between shrieking violins and pulsating cellos, two pieces that are emblematic of Arca's tendency not to reach a conclusion. On the lighter front, the album boasts the stuttering, chopped-up tv theme of Thievery, as well as more trivial melodic ditties such as Slit Thru and especially Lonely Thugg. Somewhere in the lighter repertory one must also fit the surreal Fish, that sounds like a fractured remix of Enya fronting a Caribbean combo. The limit of this highly creative music, again, is that it is so fragmented (even within each song). There is a chronic inability to reach closure, but then, maybe, this is precisely Arca's point.
>>66165871
I love Arca but I don't care enough about this old man to read all of that
>>66165871
he gave it a 7/10
while he gave r+7 5/10
ARCA>OPN CONFIRMED
>>66165900
he's been listening to music longer than you've been alive.
>>66165926
and?
>>66165932
his opinion is worth more than yours.
>>66165951
lol
>>66165951
okay
>>66165951
yep thats why he loves arca and gave him a 7.5
>>66165988
so Arca is OBJECTIVELY the best of the big four and the greatest experiment electronic artist of this decade
I'm okay with that if Scaruffi says so
I love Arca but jesus christ I had no idea his fan base was this cancerous (me included)
>>66166017
Can you give any reasons why? What makes him deserving of all the superlatives?
>>66166018
>caring about an artist's fan base
I swear I will never understand you people. To each his own though.
>>66166032
I don't really care at all, it was just an observation m8
>>66166077
sorry misread your post. reminded me of the DG cancer meme posts
anyone have &&&& split track link?
>>66166099
yeah, people who discount artists on account of their fans are silly. also, i think ppl in this post are being deliberately hyperbolic.
I saw Arca at a sex shop in Venezuela yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Did you know that I am gay?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going "I'm gay! I'm gay! I'm gay!" and shoving his dick in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him moan as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen dildos in his hands without paying.
The bear at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear him, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When he took one of the didlos and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped him and told him to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After he scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting him by yawning really loudly.
>>66166150
yeah of course it's just the idiots who took the OP seriously and then proceeded to get baited
No one actually thinks Arca has even sniffed Autechre's or RDJ's level yet. And if they do...well they need help
>>66164161
Ornette Colema's actually not good lol fucking christ
He relies so heavily on counterpoint, take them away and he's nothing.
>>66164323
How so? I've only listened to one his works, and it was ok. It was Spaces Sonores No. 1, and it sounded nothing like mutant.
>>66165616
He's literally the worst of the 4. What the fuck are you on about?
>>66166195
nice
>>66166143
I've been looking for it split for so long I don't think it exists
>>66166143
>>66166385
SOULSEEK.
>>66162550
I started loving him a while back, I don't know when YOU started loving him, but don't use that we shit here.
>>66166195
TOP ZOZZLE
why are you acting like its a some competition?
I like listening to him but his videos and live stuff shove the gay bdsm shit in your face and its not for me

>>66166445
since when did opn turn into walter sobchak?
>>66164161
>take them away

But even without that example this is a stupid argument that makes no sense.
>Lol take away Jimi Hendrix's guitar and what is he?
>Lol remove his Mozart's arms and what is he?

Amnesia Scanner is the patrician version of Arca
>>66166648

>>66166576
OPN going for that pedo core, arca looks /fa/
>>66166512
Thats jesse kanda in the middle.
Did the grimesfags decide to become arca fans today
I get the whole I dont know why he shoves the gay thing in our faces but at the same time, i think that if you were gay in a country like Venezuala during your childhood and couldnt express that at all, going on stage in the type of outfits he does it's kinda like a fuck you to anyone who hated him for who he is. plus bowie and Manson did shit like this too and they weren't even gay for them it was just shock value. So yeah it's kinda strange but meh it's just the male body nothing that disturbing.

so is a women wearing mens clothing degeneracy because i see them wearing jeans and flannel shirts all the time. It's funny that were having this conversation because the sample on Arca's mixtape is referring to this dumb mindset.

yes, obviously

>>>>>>>>>>>>/pol/
>>66167116
I'm 100% percent sure your trolling but what I'm saying is that gender roles for men in western society are much firmer than women's. personally I don't wear women's clothing but I think people should be free to wear whatever they like. Or be feminine if they want to just like women can be masculine if they want to.
>>66167170
Who is that muslim boy, then?
>>66167267
Arca
>>66167267
He's from Venezuela
You know what, I follow Arca on a lot of social media and I never got the impression that he was obnoxious about his gayness. He wears weird outfits, yeah, but how does that translate into "I'M SO FUCKING GAY IT'S SO EDGY AND COOL"? And when he does express his sexuality, I never feel like it's to emphasise his gayness either, aside from naming a track "Faggot". Gay dudes can't discuss sex now, is that it? Like he can either abstain from sexual themes altogether, or he can avoid bringing gayness into it, which is fucking stupid since he presumably mostly has *gay* sex.
>>66167142
Marcel
>>66167294
why are Arca fans so easily triggered?
>>66167142
Some faggot from that commie country, his music is okayish but got notoriety for plain LOLIMAQUEER shock value.
>>66167294
being gay is the point of life just think about it
>>66165643
I'm the guy who split the tracks, yes it's a transcode
>>66165204
Literally "you're fucking a white male"
The fact that this thread is dominated by where he decides to stick his penis rather than the actual music just proves his point.
There has been no discussion about his actual music in the thread. I think that tells you all you need to know.
>>66167405
you forgot to add "about /mu/" to your post there m80
>>66167328
I'm honestly just asking because idgi. I feel like this is less of an "I'M GAY!!" issue and more a "HE'S GAY??" issue.
>>66167405
yes their has
these homophobic idiots tried to say arca isn't good and compare to the berlin scene which he shits on and changed the subject to lol he's gay
because /mu/ doesn't know shit about music besides what p4k,rym,anthony spoonfeeds them
only thing they can do is rely on posting autechre,opn and aphex to try and say they know anything about electronic music
pathetic
He's an attention-fag is literally the only thing you guys have going for you
kek
>>66167566
shut the fuck up, Arca is literally TMT-core and they're hardly better than P4K or Fantano.
>>66167602
same buzzwords as mentioned before lol
>>66167602
classic /mu/ always needs to label something as core and namedrop another shitty website to spoon feed them
lmao
>>66167566
>These homophobic anons ruined the thread of a musician that literally slaps the LOLSOGAY attitude in everything he does.
Arcade will never be remembered for anything but for his faggot antics, and not for his music.
>>66167623
lel
>>66167566
I've asked you numerous times to talk about what makes Arca so innovative/"futuristic"/special but you just dodge it every time to deliver ad hominem attacks

don't worry when beyonce and her culture vulture producers start looking for new trends to jack arca will be the first to get raped by big business
>>66167664
In the realm of experimental electronic music? He's pretty popular. Def not on OPN/Ae/AFX levels, but he's like second-tier in terms of visibility. He's worked with fucking Kanye and Bjork, mate.
>>66167405
That he's really not all that great? Yeah.
>>66167730
he's as popular as OPN
also AFX isn't an experimental artist
>>66167405
You just confirmed >>66167623
>>66167711
It's like people forget who was an executive producer on Yeezus and contributed significantly to half of the album

elseq is really, really wicked tho and i say this as someone who has found a lot of their post-2003 material to be underwhelming.
ia that garden of delete was a major disappointment. can't wait for reverie.
>>66167781
yeah so was Devo Springsteen
AFX and AE blow OPN out of the water
all three blow Arca out of the water
though I do think some of what Arca has done is pretty cool
>>66167981
aphex hasn't been good in, like, more than 15 years though. all this bullshit and half-assed crap he's put out has really soured him on me.

well then don't listen to his music you genderist piece of shit

one doesn't have to be a "genderist" to be put-off by attention whoring
>>66165616
Agree.
>>66165650
GoD seems to be really divisive. Do people just not like that it's aggressive? Or do they dislike the vocal samples?
Both compositionally and production-wise, it's his best work. It just doesn't have the same "vibe" as his old work.
