“Nothing Lasts Forever Anyway” began as a lullaby but slowly unraveled into something bigger and darker - a cinematic guitar-driven piece where fragility meets tension. Inspired by landscapes that shift between calm and storm, it carries the spirit of artists like Daniel Lanois and Gustavo Santaolalla.

Nothing Lasts Forever Anyway

Walilamdzi is a Berlin-based project of Nikita Noebel, crafting instrumental guitar music that carries listeners across vast prairies, searing deserts and the tumultuous expanse of the sea. Inspired by artists like Daniel Lanois, Gustavo Santaolalla and Neil Young, his sound has a raw, atmospheric depth - evoking the solitude and tension of the frontier.

Noebel adopted the name Walilamdzi from Devendra Banhart’s song of the same title. In the Pit River dialect, it is believed to mean "the dawn". Whether rooted in indigenous language or existing purely as a phonetic creation, it captures a feeling more than a definition, carrying an undercurrent of menace. Captivated by its rhythm and mystery, Noebel has used Walilamdzi as the name for his musical explorations over the years, which eventually grew into the official project - creating music that immerses listeners in textured, atmospheric soundscapes.

For those who seek cinematic soundscapes, the glow before nightfall and the moments where night meets day, Walilamdzi offers a compelling journey.
