Arcaïde is a strange experience of structure atmospheric Dark cinematic landscapes, influenced mainly by fantasy literature, surrealism, dadaism and the strange sides of spirituality.
Arcaïde's music is like a magical journey progressing between melody, dissonance and bruitism, exploring the dark sides as luminous beyond sensory experience.

This new opus consists of two pieces based upon the principle of duality that governs the concept of Solve & Coagula. Throughout this album, Arcaïde explores the cyclical movement of dissolution and re-constitution corresponding to the process of alchemical metamorphosis as described in Jung's work.
Arcaïde takes us on an inward journey kontemplating the two inseparable and indispensable phases: fire and ice, yin and yang, Solve & Coagula "
