Different visions can create something new.
Arcaico is open to collaborations with musicians, artists, creators, retailers and brands whose work,
identity and audience are genuinely aligned with what we are building.
We don’t collaborate simply because an opportunity is available.
We look for the right combination of vision, relevance, character and reach — and, above all, a reason for the collaboration to exist.
WHO WE COLLABORATE WITH MUSIC & ARTISTS
We are interested in musicians and artists who have developed their own sound, identity and language.
A collaboration can begin with an idea, a conversation, or a different way of approaching an instrument.
The artist’s work should have a genuine connection with the world Arcaico belongs to.
Electronic music. Experimental music. Modular synthesis. Industrial and underground scenes. Sound exploration.
Not because these are rules, but because this is where our interests naturally meet.
CREATORS
We are open to working with creators whose content goes beyond simply presenting products.
We value people who have their own voice,
understand the instruments they work with and create content with substance,
personality and relevance to their audience.
A large following can certainly be valuable.
But numbers alone are not enough.
Relevance comes first.
RETAILERS & BRANDS
Collaborations can also take shape with selected retailers and brands.
When there is a strong connection between the identity of a partner and Arcaico,
a collaboration may result in a special edition or branded edition of an existing instrument.
These projects can be small or substantial — from a limited edition to a larger production run — depending on the project, the partner and the audience it is intended for.
The important part is not simply putting another name on an Arcaico instrument.
There has to be a reason behind it.
SIGNATURE EDITIONS
An instrument with another voice.
Some collaborations with artists may evolve into a Signature Edition.
An existing Arcaico instrument can be developed together with the artist through new ideas, visual details, graphics, modifications or a personal signature.
The result remains unmistakably Arcaico, while carrying something that belongs specifically to the collaboration.
Signature Editions are developed selectively and are not offered as a standard customisation service.
WHAT MAKES A COLLABORATION RIGHT?
THE RIGHT FIT
We don’t have a checklist of follower counts, genres or predefined requirements.
But we do look for certain things.
A genuine identity.
Something that already exists and has been developed over time.
A meaningful connection.
The music, work, aesthetics or activities of a potential partner should have a natural relationship with the world of Arcaico.
An established audience.
Reach matters when a collaboration is intended to become a real project.
We are interested in partners who have built an audience around what they do, rather than simply having numbers attached to an account.
A reason to collaborate.
The strongest collaborations are not created simply because two names can be placed next to each other.
There should be something worth making together.
NOT EVERY COLLABORATION IS THE RIGHT ONE
(And that’s okay)
Arcaico is not interested in collaborations simply for exposure, sponsorships or product placement.
We are equally uninterested in creating products that exist only to carry somebody else’s name.
A collaboration has to make sense from both sides.
The artist, creator,
retailer or brand needs to bring something to the project
— an identity, an audience, an idea, a perspective or a world of their own.
And Arcaico needs to be able to contribute something meaningful in return.
The goal is not to make a collaboration visible.
The goal is to make the collaboration worth seeing.
HOW IT STARTS
It start with a conversation.
There is no application form.
There is no collaboration package.
There is no predefined formula.
If you believe there is a genuine reason for our paths to cross,
tell us about yourself, your work and the idea you have in mind.
We will take the time to look at it.
