about

Music born in the depths of a southern winter. The unfathomable beauty of the long still nights witnessed while sleeping out under the stars. Nights which were the canvas for celestial displays of divine beauty and indifference, missed by most of us while we sheltered indoors. The stillness of the sleeping land. The snow covered mountains that have seen it all before. A timeless snapshot of the infinite ancient.
