Peter Bjärgö 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 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 Roger gave us a deal for two full length albums.
In 1999 Ida joined me for the last time on the "...The Last Embrace" album.
Now I currently work with Stefan Eriksson, Ann-Marie Thim and my wife Ia Bjärgö.
In 2003 I ended my deal with CMI and started to release Arcana on my own
label, Erebus odora. Since then I have released a 10 year anniversery album
titled "The new light" and the late 2005 release "Le serpent rouge".
