The beautiful and delicate progression of the song felt like it captured the exact moment when the car lights are turned off just as the sun rises, signaling an end to the darkness.

Awesome deep, moody atmosphere, truly epic ambient journey!

Trailing Half-Night

Archy has finally reached the elusive land of his dreams. But is it really all what it seems? Is there something evil in the air? Is there dark clouds at the horizon? Archibald Whim may step ashore, but what awaits him in this ever changing America?
This track was recorded in corporation with the ever so talented BribedAnt, that supported with bass and solo guitar along with a critical input in the mix and master process. Do look up BribedAnt on Soundcloud - it's a blast.

America – Archibald Whim X

The idea for this song came to me randomly while driving down some backroad a few years back, and I recorded the initial idea spur of the moment. For whatever reason, the rather morbid theme came out in the process and I just went with it. Nat is a daring soul and surprisingly encouraged that we record it and with her considerable help we fashioned this recording. Notable is that Nat has taken on the ability to add some beautiful pedal steel guitar throughout the song using her well established keyboard skills and this first run at it was very satisfying. Let us know what you think!

Lyrics:
It took me a while to believe it
If you’re stuck in a bad place, you leave it
And I was that place, that she had to erase
A place that suited me just fine

Then one day I put away my rosy glasses
As I waited for her to come back home.
But watching dust settle, 
On the couch and the kettle
I could see it was me, that made her have to leave
Me to build this coffin home of mine

Yes, I’m building a coffin to live in
Surrounded by forests of green
‘Cause if I ever knew love, 
I guess that I threw love
Away with the girl of my dreams

Well, it don’t feel like living, without her
Though the sun still shines brightly through the pines 
I can tell I have a pulse, 
But my heart has tested false 
If only I’d seen the warning signs

It’s the simple things that seem so complicated
Thought I knew what I should do, to make it 
But then the ship that sails, 
Leaves you pounding coffin nails
Now it’s, twenty-four seven, this coffin that I live in
With all the “could have beens” that it confines

I’m just building a coffin to live in
Surrounded by forests of green. 
‘Cause if I ever knew love, 
I guess that I threw love
Away with the girl of my dreams

Pounding away, day after day
Waiting for the girl of my dreams
Someday, she’ll be back

A Coffin To Live In

Lyrics: Mag ik dan bij jou (cover Claudia de Breij)

Als de oorlog komt, En als ik dan moet schuilen, Mag ik dan bij jou?
Als er een clubje komt, Waar ik niet bij wil horen,Mag ik dan bij jou?
Als er een regel komt, Waar ik niet aan voldoen kan, Mag ik dan bij jou? En als ik iets moet zijn, Wat ik nooit geweest ben Mag ik dan bij jou?

(chorus)  Mag ik dan bij jou schuilen, Als het nergens anders kan? En als ik moet huilen, Droog jij m'n tranen dan? Want als ik bij jou mag, Mag jij altijd bij mij Kom wanneer je wilt,Ik hou een kamer voor je vrij
Als het onweer komt, En als ik dan bang ben, Mag ik dan bij jou? Als de avond valt, En 't is mij te donker, Mag ik dan bij jou? ls de lente komt, En als ik dan verliefd ben, Mag ik dan bij jou? Als de liefde komt, En ik weet het zeker, Mag ik dan bij jou?
(chorus)  Mag ik dan bij jou schuilen, Als het nergens anders kan? En als ik moet huilen, Droog jij m'n tranen dan? Want als ik bij jou mag, Mag jij altijd bij mij Kom wanneer je wilt,Ik hou een kamer voor je vrij
 
Als het einde komt, En als ik dan bang ben, Mag ik dan bij jou? Als het einde komt, En als ik dan alleen ben, Mag ik dan bij jou?

Translation: When the war comes, And if I have to hide; Can I come to you then? If there is a club, That I don't want to belong to, Can I come to you then? If there is a rule, Which I cannot comply with, Can I come to you then?And if I have to be something, Which I've never been, Can I come to you then? Can I take shelter with you then? If it can't be done anywhere else? And if I have to cry; Will you dry my tears then? 
Chorus;
Because if I can be with you, You can always be with me  Come whenever you want, I'll save a room for you, When the storm comesAnd when I'm scared; Can I come to you then?
When night falls, And it's too dark for me, Can I come to you then? When spring comes, And when I'm in love, Can I come to you then? When love comes, And I'm sure, Can I come to you then? Can I take shelter with you then? If it can't be done anywhere else?And if I have to cry Will you dry my tears then?
Chorus;  Because if I can be with you,…L.
When the end comes, And when I'm scared, Can I come to you then? When the end comes
And when I'm alone Can I come to you then?

Einsamkeit

el amado es mi la muerte

Lost In A Moment

I'm primarily a guitar player but I'll try to make music with anything you throw at me. When left to my own devices I enjoy recording minimalist ambient pieces and textural soundscapes. My principal sound source for these efforts is manipulated guitar but I often include electronics and organic sources. I enjoy working on collaborations with other musicians. Please contact me if you are interested.
