Newly discovered 2010 'lost recordings' by The Winter

(Wellington NZ instrumental free improv trio of Simon Sweetman, Dave Edwards and Mike Kingston - see fiffdimension.bandcamp.com/album/shortest-days-2003-2015 )

Includes live performances at Fred's, and previously unheard recording sessions on 25-4-10 and 6-6-10.

"I had never played anything like improvisational music – and maybe The Winter is closer to a type of Outsider Folk Music if anything. But it certainly came about from a basis in improvisation.
"I definitely didn’t know what I was doing – and that was the scary thrill of it all. I’d previously made money playing in covers bands. And had a laugh with my friends jamming. This was serious. Even if it didn’t always sound like it. And even when we had a lot of fun doing it.
"Hearing these “lost” recordings is a real joy to me. I barely recognise myself in some ways, and yet I’ve no doubt this work here has gone on to inform my playing to this day"
- Simon Sweetman
