i am the architect ...

i am the architect (Muenster, Germany)...

"I AM THE ARCHITECT found their place in student-town Muenster (Germany) in autumn 2007. Having a diverse musical background the four members focused on a certain goal: Finding a unique musical style that relies on post-rock, early ninetees shoegaze and classical music.
Out of this mixture occur songs that are able to combine contrasts. Complete structures meet catchy melodies, a melancholic atmosphere opens the door for brute sound-walls. No song sounds like the other but nevertheless an intense closeness emerges, especially live!
The music of I AM THE ARCHITECT is not limited by musical boundaries in order to develop a diverse sound which is enriched by instruments like violin, cello or transverse flute. Together with a distinctive basement of keyboards and synthesizers you’ll hear an impressive musical broadness"...
(Net Label LostChildren ---> may 2008)
I AM THE ARCHITECT was formed by Johannes Thielsch (drums), Jakob Steffan (keyboard, samples), Marc Löhe (bass), Jörn krüßel (guitar) and Matthias Brinkmann (guitar). It was known that a few months after their release of their EP "11" Matthias Brinkmann parted ways from the band.
