about | news | releases | links
 The Winterhouse is Anthony Paul Kerby from Canada and Robert Davies from the USA. Both artists have numerous well-respected solo releases on Kerby's DataObscura label. The music style is a detailed, flowing, thoughtful and moody ambient electronica. Think of atmospheric music soundtracks and mysterious soundworlds, laced with subtle melodic elements and curious sonic inventions. This is music that rewards deep listening, but which can also function in the background. The first Winterhouse album, Slow Promises, was released late 2007. This was followed by the beautiful Lost in 2008. Primary instruments employed are hardware and software synthesisers, plus field recordings and occasional treated guitar. The albums are edited and mastered by APK at his studio in London, Ontario, Canada. Anthony records as The Circular Ruin, Lammergeyer, and Nunc Stans. Robert is also a visual artist working in paint and collage. |
