Influences
Arcaïde's influences are mainly deriving from the surrealistic,dark psychedelic,Science-fiction,Abstract art , Fantastique,primitive art,industrial movement ,Dada and other.
In 2008"Cyclic sound from the form" is a strange album, dark and tortured, opposing long moments of total chaos to smooth and captivating atmospheres.
Sometimes noisy, unstructured, atonal, minimalist or complex, sometimes harmonised and appeasing, the songs enchain, though, in a coherent and logical way, where every listener can build his own story.
Like an organique mass stretching in an experimental and surealiste universe, "Cyclic sound from the forme" drives you into a stream of apocalyptic images, cling to your neurons and attract them to disturbing and hostile abysses...
This album is available now on the Divine Comedy Records.
Benjamin Cecilio actually gets ready a radical electronic set for live performances.
In 2003 he finishes Arcaïde's second album, named Probably problematic, gathering 15 tracks based on electro and industrial but tending to more and more abstraction. Arcaïde grows, keeping the abyssal colors and heavy harmonies that makes his originality. (Demo tape Sold out)
In 2005, Opus mort was born. More cinematographic, this third album is the outcome of a long experimentation resolutely looking into weird sonorous ambiances. This surrealisic and nearly nightmarish painting is the reflect of the compositor's disturbed personnality.

In 2001, he brings up his first album, Chaos of Sigma. At the same time, he found the collective Zero corp, with about ten local bands clustered around dark and noisy experiments. From this cooperation springs Synocaïde, a crossover project including Arcaïde, born in 2003.
I am now
recording for a new set of releases called the "Persona Series". These
cassettes will be commissioned works (not by content, but by payment)
for individuals. If John Smith in London, England wants his own Zebulon
Kosted album, I will make a 45 minute album (one side of a 90 minute
tape), 2 hand drawn mini posters, I will name the album after him
(Zebulon Kosted - John Smith), and the fan will retain all rights to
the recording (for use of any future release, sampling, or broadcasting
rights). One copy of the album will remain in my personal collection,
and one will be sent to the customer, so that the only copy that will
be in circulation will be John Smiths copy! Each album is available for
the ridiculously low price of $10 (not including shipping), and will be
shipped in its completed form no later than 6 weeks from the date of
purchase!!!
her final breath.
From the label: Time has come for a fresh collaborative album, released by No Angels Prod. and Beast Of Prey. We would like to present a unique opus, which appears as a co-operation of Inner Vision Laboratory (Poland) and Roto Visage (USA) projects, symbolically entitled "Cinema Stain". Here, the listener is forced to wale in pathological and "impure" visualizations of human pain, fears and suffering, which are surprisingly seducing with subtle beauty. Some of the soundforms are painted heavily with a brush of rhythm while others flow like the spools of film spinning through a mechanical projector. The aim of both of the composers was to write an original soundtrack to a non-existent horror film – the result is excellent, and by taking vocal samples from other movies, they created also an auditory record of tension and melancholic darkness. For layout of this release, we used modified photographs from the very talented photographer - Karolina Kosowicz.
