Sonic Stanza: Wintering | Tempestfeather

Darkness. Cold. Stillness. But also ephemeral and otherworldly beauty.

Winter is a time of hibernation for the natural world, of survival.

For us, it's a time to retreat, reflect and pause. To soothe and nourish.

But also to embrace renewal. Stillness. Withdrawal. Point zero.

There is beauty in slow and gentle rest, and in winding down. Crisp air. Fire.

There is beauty in persevering and finding warmth in the coldest of times.

Here is a soundtrack inspired by and for "wintering" — as our bodies and spirits acclimatise to the darker, shorter, and colder days.
