Arnica Montana is a french artist, synth maker and musician, based in the south of France. She has a really strong interest for synthesizers and analog electronics, and uses synth creation and circuitry as an artistic medium. She defines her sound practice as soft noise and it’s about finding the way of letting the synths play themselves, and creating suitable grounds for chaos."
