Amber Streams

About Me

Amber Streams is a project started by Arjen Witteveen in 2005. Beginning as a one-man band, Arjen was in charge of all the music writing, music of a progressive nature, with its roots in metal. Atmospheric, heavy-layered parts dominate in Amber Streams' music, whether it is an epic heavy part or a soothing acoustic one. In February 2007, Wouter joined the band. With him handling the basslines, Amber Streams is now a two-piece.
