about
Winterwood is a husband and wife duo (Holly and Zac Winterwood) based in New Zealand. The duo draws on their diverse musical backgrounds in classical violin, opera, and sound experimentation to create a unique blend of acoustic atmospheric folk, ambient soundscapes, and epic long-form drone pieces. Winterwood’s music has featured a distinct combination of cinematic string arrangements, vocal harmonies, percussion, and layers of atmospheric acoustic and electric guitars. Along with a myriad of other works, Winterwood has composed and performed soundtracks for theatre, as well as creating, producing, and performing a commissioned opera for voice and electric guitar
From Winterwood:
“Caelestis was created during a period of recordings which took inspiration from the formation of our sound bath project "Winterwood Sound Immersions". We founded "WSI" in late 2018 after feeling the need to both perform, as well as record sounds with the intention of holding relaxing spaces for other people. When listening, we can't help feeling that the two pieces represent both weightlessness, and grounding. Part 1 evokes the power of light, and levitation in various forms. The looped strings evoke a yearning, unresolved and resting just above the horizon, but never veering far above it. Part 2 is a densely layered excursion into the earth. As though the listener is buried within the soil, surrounded and engulfed by the sounds.”

It was nice to discover new kids on the ambient block Bathysphere Records this week, and it seems they've hit the ground running, with this their fifth release in as many months. So if you want a gently winding, far-reaching journey through the ambient electronic condition, that will sound great soundtracking all sorts of Sunday inactivity then look no further than the new Fog Net LP.
