| Arcana > Albums & Lyrics |
Peter Petterson speaks about the conception of Arcana.
In 1993 I accepted the fact that an ordinary band line-up was too narrow for me and I decided to start up a project called Arcana. It was based on the ideas that had been haunting me for a very long time, the ideas of creating medieval inspired music, or perhaps I should say based on the romantic image we all have on the middle ages, and doing that through a very personal point of view...
I did soon realize that I needed a female companion that could bring a lead singing. I contacted Ida Bengtsson to tell her about my ideas and visions, she loved it and Arcana became complete.
I now currently work with Stefan Eriksson and Ann-Marie Thim.
I had, at that time, made a demonstration cassette which I gave to Roger at Cold Meat Industry. Roger liked the music and gave us the chance to take part on a CMI sampler. As a result, we recorded "The Song of Mourning," and the response was great, and thus Roger gave us a deal for two full length albums.
Since then Roger and I have had a great contact. The deal for two cd's has grown, and four fullenghts with Arcana has now been released.
Next year Arcana will be 10 years old. I have alot of ideas of a special release to celebrate this. I am working on new material, looking for old demos and I hope this will be a great album.
This album will probably be released on my own label Erebus Odora, cause in July 2003 I ended my deal with CMI and the thought is to release my own albums in the future.
