| | Cloudmachine was an eclectic indie rock band hailing from the Netherlands, founded by songwriter and composer Ruud Houweling (Alphen aan den Rijn, July 29, 1968) who fronted the band, singing and playing guitar. Other band members were: Marco Kuypers (keyboards), Mike Coolen (drums), Richard Lagerweij (guitars) and Ray Edgar Duyns (bass). The style of music can be described as atmospheric with a melancholic undertone. The songs are always constructed with 'real' instruments, part acoustic. Vintage keyboards (hammond, piano, wurlitzer, mellotron, pump organ), various types of guitars, sometimes accordion. Arrangements often incorporate additional string players or a brass section. The band has released four albums, receiving critical acclaim in the Netherlands and Belgium, before disbanding in december 2014. |
