Name: Requiem for Archie Movement 12 : Eulogy by TheOxfordAmbientCollective in Requiem for Archie (Into The Light That Never More Will Fade)
Duration: 2 min 31 s
Description: This is the last track of the Requiem for Archie series. The eulogy is from the play The Oxford Roof Climber's Rebellion (a play about the lives of TE Lawrence and Robert Graves). The eulogy is read by my friend Steve who played the part of Robert Graves).

Cracking backing music David and the guy here sounds like he was in a church speaking those fine words. A fabulous series my good friend and great work. Must admit I have not heard every part in this series and I came across a set of it the other day of five of the parts though oddly numbered like 1, 3, 5, 6 and 9.

Moving words!  Very pertinent... and poignant...

Beautiful from start to finish, a truly wonderful tribute.

In memory of Private 74333 - Henry Archibald Smith

Not much is known of Archie's early life, expect that he worked as a foreman bottler at the Hopcraft and Norris Brewery in Brackley.

Requiem for Archie Movement 12 : Eulogy

This is the penultimate piece (well in order of composition) in the Archie series. For such a short track it went through several changed as I was never happy with it.....I guess a true labour of love!

I am both the dreamer & the dreamed

I started creating music on my old PC back in 2002 using DAWs such as Buzz, Fl Studio and Reason. As my artist name suggest I mostly compose tunes that have an ambient edge. My main passion is creating soundscapes, be they soft drifting drones/piano pieces/heavily synth driven, weirdly abstract and classical and orchestral pieces. I mainly compose using apps on my IPad but also make use of whatever instruments I have lying around such as my Pocket Operators, Modal Craftsynth, my favourite is an Early Learning Centre keyboard.

In the past my tracks have been played in BBC Radio Oxford and BBC 6 Music. Over the years I have collaborated with people from all over the world. Please message me if you would like to collaborate 😀
