about

Originally issued at Moody Drones as a digital-only affair containing the title track, Winterspheres appears here as a seasonally appropriate expanded physical edition, augmented by a second duophonic reprocessed mix of the original session.

Winterspheres was created using a process of selective sampling on a Boss RC-20 looper, pulling tonal material from an ever-changing patch on a Roland SH-32 polyphonic digital synthesizer. Played by hand, and recorded to tape, with a minimum of FX processing used, it recalls the methods employed by myself and David Tagg for our prolific recordings at SSR from 2006-2010. Winterthrum reapproaches the tape recording and, by way of repeated downsampling and additional reverberation, manages to generate a warmer more restrained take on the piece.

Further still, a live session as Coppice Halifax was undertaken to mutate the source tape alongside drum machines and an analog bass monosynth, and this recording has been issued as Winterthaw: coppicehalifax.bandcamp.com/album/winterthaw
