Written for my Mom, Kathryn Lynne Verdicchio, 1953-2023
This piece traverses the story of her life in a microcosm. Starting with her birth in Columbus, OH, the oldest of 7 children, the youngest of whom was lost. She moved to New Mexico at the age of 12 following an accident her father had at his job. His doctors gave him only 6 months to live. He said "I won't be dying anytime soon I have kids to feed." He passed the same day as my mom eventually did, Dec. 2nd. Kathy was strong, independent, graduated early, married my Dad young. She went through too much to detail. I hope you'll hear her strength and emotional connection here, as well as her battles, triumphs, and final choice to rest in peace.

IRIS

Iris for Solo Piano (LIVE)

Original music by EP Archer
The backbeat drives home while violin scratches down into the sound and the rap hunkers down into a beautiful instrumental, all juxtaposed against a building bridge and sweet singing.

Swimming In Stars

Just Let Go

Melty vocals, deep violin, rhodes and vibes make a palate for dreaming through the world we all to create to survive.

Underneath

Rhodes, bass groove and even a jazz EP solo @ the end! ;)
"Fading, feinting under oceans...losing all of your religions"

Feinting

Intense rolling drums and poetic lyrics to dive into the moments we might have to crawl on the floor...

Tangled Mess

NDE (Near Death Experience) describes a journey of self exploration when faced with trauma, death and transformation. EP Archer wrote the music, sings, plays piano & violin. Featuring Mike Marlier on drum set, Matt Skellenger on bass and Michael Schulze engineer and producer.

The uncontrollable feeling of being a teenager when you encounter an undeniable incarnation of your soul￼￼

Join us in coming undone. Join us in our humanity, squalor, music, screaming, laughing, catapulting and tears.
