A Path Within A Path

magoski Harp upon the moor,
thou breath of mist,
thou morning veiled
in sorrow.
O megalith,
thou witness to vows unkept—
marry me,
then leave me,
as one carves memory upon stone.
Need me,
aye—need me more than want me;
for wanting fades,
but needing binds.
This day I stepped into thy life,
and in thine eyes I beheld my own reflection:
a tempest I myself did conjure.
And yet—
I thought it naught.
I weighed it less than shadow,
less than breath.
Forgive me.
I am sorry.
I am sorry. Favorite track: As Quiet As The Ruined House.

The Sand Traveler Another great album released on LAAPS. Seabuckthorn's sound palette is expanding even more, and this is just an incredible album (hard to choose a favorite track!). Favorite track: Black Boar.

Seabuckthorn is an alias used for the solo work of English composer Andy Cartwright.

Cartwright uses picking & bowing techniques combined with various open tunings on string instruments to form a mixture of approaches, often with layered accompaniments. Generally the songs lean towards to the experimental genre, whilst on the edge of the ambient and folk.

Having grown up in Oxfordshire, Cartwright studied sound engineering in Cornwall and then lived in the cities of London, Paris & Bristol working as a broadcast wireman. He now resides in the French Southern Alps making music.

Cartwright has been actively touring internationally for several years performing in festivals and events throughout Europe.
Various songs have featured in documentaries, film, websites and contemporary dance, as well as making original scores for film.

Since 2009, he has released several releases on some labels such as Lost Tribe Sound, IIKKI, Fluid Audio and recently Quiet Details.
This is hi second release on LAAPS.
