about
"Opening with a fusion of clang and bubbly electronics, the duo (Zac & Holly Winterwood) fluctuates in a chilling minimal space of ambient drone. I’m reminded of schoolyard recess, of church bells, as they blend flowy strings throughout 'In Memories'.
There’s a lot to make you pause to listen on Forest. A whole lot of breadth, of breath, breathing, exhaling, and repeating the process, by way of engaging lush harmonies. In their fleeting, ethereal tones Winterwood brings a tingling balance to their soundscapes, released here in a short edition of only fifty.
In these four pieces their arrangement works best in longform, especially on 'Painted Moon', which in moments sounds like some anomaly between classical and New Age though manages to escape the sappier side of both, this side of the millennium.
In other moments the listener may imagine themselves upon a locomotive as it moves through tunnels and icy forests, 'Amidst Trees'.
This record whispers with illuminating flourishes that call out to the spirit of Mother Nature.” T.J. Norris.

Serene ambient music that evokes guided meditation through the use of phase-shifting melodies, droning bass, and gauzy synth textures.

Hypnotic ambient and drone music crests in the second track, which clocks in at a whopping 46 minutes. Mesmerizing from start to finish.
