about

This is the first recorded collaboration between Wellington based, Scottish visual artist and musician Neil Johnstone, and Winterwood.

After they met and jammed together for the first time during 2022, it did not take long to discover the musical chemistry between the artists. And thus the recording sessions for what would eventually comprise this album, quickly began to take shape. With the added bonus of being able to play and record in the same spaces together.

The music takes inspiration from a series of paintings by the artist Robèrt Franken. "My River Styx was inspired by an image I saw of Charon as a kid. A skeleton with a cape on. I took that information and changed it around. I was born with a skeleton and my flesh is the cape. So I am crossing the river in this life. And gave an account of the journey. When I die I reach the other side. It is difficult to use or write about a meaning, because it is an aloof substance. I like to create works that make one wonder or even feel lost. But possess the quality to enthrall." - Robèrt Franken

While Johnstone and Winterwod began piecing their sounds together the material began to take on concepts and story points from Robèrt's visual environments. The surreal and colourful elements in Franken's paintings aided a great deal in shaping the atmospheres of the sounds into something distinct and unique in comparison to Johnstone and Winterwood's previous works.

Arriving in the Oceans of Different Views is available in digital format, and as a strictly limited edition CD, adorned by three different cover designs featuring Franken's amazing visuals.
