   About Arcana


graphics
'Arcana' is the brainchild of Peter Christiansen; a Danish producer based in London.

"I was knocking out beats not long after conception; a time which my mother refers to as 'a lot of kicks', and this never stopped since, although the beats have become quite a lot more complex involving syncopation, shuffling and accents. "

These days Arcana is working on a 'World Electronica' project, which takes him and the listeners all around the world, virtually. Hopefully this will enable people to listen to music outside their genre; letting people who listen to world music in on the sounds of electronic music and open the eyes of all the ravers out there towards exotic real instruments. But indeed, one can only hope.
So far the project has included collaborators from UK, Switzerland, Germany and Japan.

Hello Arcana,

Just dropping by to say that in celebration of the rare Ancient Future Guitar-Sitar Jugalbandi show March 31, 2007, at Northern California's Larkspur Cafe Theatre, we have finally added our fourth myspace song: a live version of the song Socha Socha from the Planet Passion CD that was recorded for the Echoes Radio Living Room Concert Series. For a limited time only, we are offering it as a free download. It's not available on iTunes or any other download site, and it will be removed on April 1, so download it while you can. Hope you enjoy this gift to our myspace friends!

Happy Spring Equinox, Arcana! And happy planting of your seeds for the rest of the year -- I love all the birds nesting and flowers blooming...

I posted a bulletin yesterday about my latest collaboration -- a DVD which is at Barnes & Noble stores (a seed I planted!) and Jon Anderson of "Yes" sings on -- I hope you pass my bulletin on... ;->

Cheers,
Nijole
