I can feel the warm inviting arms of this Song wrapping me in a long hug that empties out all the negative emotions built up through the day <3 <3 <3
Favorite track: Childhood.
I'm not the sentimental type, and I'm not the kinda guy who looks back at my past events and experiences for the sake of nostalgia. But, the more I move forward, the more I realize how I was set up to become the guy I am today (in a good way). I wasn't successfully guided, I rebelled against the thought of following someone else's example, I was stubborn, I wanted nothing more than to just forge my own destination, even if it wasn't entirely possible. I wanted to be feel accomplished in doing something for myself, to learn by falling on my face and dusting myself off, I didn't want to be different, I just wanted to see the things I desired most. It felt like a fire that I couldn't let go, no matter how much I felt like I couldn't be a part of the world because of I would look for a world that didn't exist; I knew I had to create the world I wanted for myself, no matter what the cost to myself. That was the only thing important to me and it still is, to build what I want, how I want, from scratch, so I can have something to call my own.
And through out all of this, the was only one person who stuck by me through all of the hard times that would come. The one person who was always my shield when I couldn't fight back or understand. When I had nothing, she gave me everything, when I couldn't find myself, she always just smiled at me and said "Well, let's go and figure that out together".
I am, of course, talking about my mother. The person who always tried to guide me, but knew she couldn't. All she could do was be my net when I needed it, and stand next to me when I would walk into unknown territories in life and in my desires to grow as a person and as an artist. Her support made me realize that it's not about playing by the rules, it's about building a place to make your own rules. And through this, I had the best childhood I could ask for, and more. And that's why I made this song a while back, my first time looking back at myself, at my past, at what I've become today.

My mother, for doing the best she could, and more
Ominous in mood and striking in it's execution, "The Architects" is a fantastic release by Randal Collier-Ford that fully displays the depth of his talent and the scope of his vision.
An excellent collection of finely detailed and textured work that thoroughly engages, "The Architects" inspires repeated listens and deeper immersion by the listener, offering greater rewards the further you dive into it. rikm
Hypnotic ambient and drone music crests in the second track, which clocks in at a whopping 46 minutes. Mesmerizing from start to finish. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 25, 2023
58918012’s hatred of piano inspired him to build an entire album around the instrument—which, ironically, led to gorgeous music. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 22, 2023
My personal favorite of the Lovecraft series. This piece feels so calm, eerie, and mysterious. The slight plucking of strings is off set by the ritual drums and consistent reverb. Amazing combination! theeverwanderer
