Hibernate presents A Winter's Gift with Lowered and special guests Clem Leek, Ithaca Trio and Ed Hamilton. Tickets include a free and exclusive compilation album!

Lowered create minimal compositions of long-form cello drones and sparse piano over dark swells of sound and grainy field recordings. Band members Chris Gowers and Katie English have previously released numerous recordings under their respective solo guises Karina ESP and Isnaj Dui. This project however sees a departure in approach as well as instrumentation. Their forthcoming album ‘Lost Seas’ will be released on Hibernate during December this year.

Clem Leek is a composer and multi-instrumentalist who's work is more than often described as neo-classical. Although it certainly draws influence from that genre, Clem's works is more soundscape oriented full of ambient washes and rich panoramic drones.

Ithaca Trio is a collage of compositions, soundscapes, improvisations, field recordings, manipulations and experimentations recorded by various members of the Deus Ex Machina Arkestra and assosiated sound-propagators.

Ed Hamilton currently uses his collection of Max/MSP patches, coupled with a variety of acoustic sound sources, to create multi-layered compositions that blend melody and traditional instrumentation with shimmering electronic pulses and drones.
