what is project:ARCHITOOTHIS?
Created in the year 2004, project:ARCHITOOTHIS was devised to create a musical outlet for one Benjamin Moy when he realized that he liked making songs, but not writing lyrics. So he created a project to collect lyrics, forcing him to bend his melodies to their will, thus collaborating with people who he would not otherwise be able to collaborate with. It also enables Ben to experiment more musically, trying out new ideas with new lyrical ideas. FUN! You can hear the songs in mp3 format at "Songs of the Moment" on the sidebar.

most importantly... what does ARCHITOOTHIS mean?
ARCHITEUTHIS is a large sea creature that has never been seen. A giant squid! I spelled it wrong. It stuck. I wish I could say that I picked the Giant Squid because this project will have many arms! Many writers and be gigantic and glorious! But no, it's just the first word that popped into my head and it sounded cool. The End.
