You become more animalistic when you don't know what's coming next - you have to be on guard, but at the same time you're also more receptive.

More quotes by Arca
I do love the idea that something can make you forget that you're listening and just transport you to somewhere else in your head.
Arca
I had an unspoken treaty with myself to never lie in my lyrics, so, for a long time, when I wrote love songs, I would use genderless pronouns, like dear and darling - like some kind of granny!
Arca
There has to be an entry point to learn about myself, or an idea I've never tried, because then I can try on a new skin and see the world through a different perspective. If I have that spark, then I'll save the file.
Arca
It's very human to try to put things into boxes, and it's hard for us to reconcile with grey areas, and yet somehow that's the area I find the most poetic, the juiciest.
Arca
Someone can only be vampiric if you allow it.
Arca
I do love voices so much that I will use them and manipulate them. The presence of a human voice in a piece of music is really exciting, even if it's just someone's breathing.
Arca
With song titles, I try to keep a healthy sense of humor while saying something at the same time.
Arca
It's been a growth process for each of us to understand why we find certain things beautiful. And if we do find something beautiful, we'll chase it, because you want to understand yourself and what your psyche is creating.
Arca
When I sit down to make music, I try to enter a flow I always open a blank session and just make something that I feel like making.
Arca
There is also a particular frustration that I have with language. It's so clumsy. And the reason I'm feeling that is more because on your breathing and your intonation than the actual words.
Arca
It struck me at some point that the things I wanted to say had to be wordless. I had to renounce words in order to go deep into the practice of making materials and textures that would express what I'm trying to say more accurately.
Arca
I try to have things change before I get bored, and I figure other people might enjoy that too I try not to let anything repeat for long enough that you can get used to it.
Arca
First thought, best thought. I live by that when I make my own music.
