About the album: My annual mid-winter foray into frigid-inspired dark ambient, drone, and cinematic soundscaping, "An Answer to Winter" was crafted, conceived, recorded, compiled, and produced during the making of "Sleepless" and "Toxicocktail" from 2007 - 2009. The finality of this hour-long birth can be attributed to the everlasting cold, the everlasting cold of February.
About the cover art: "She has faces, she has places, and she has answers, but you must be patient as plaster to find them."

IMPORTANT: "251 Kelvin" utilizes intense binaural subharmonics to create a purposeful feeling of lateral motion while listening that can produce sensations of swaying, miasma, or disorientation in the overly-sensitive. For the sake of anyone prone to motion sickness and/or those with their EQ low end overboosted from listening to Hip Hop, please reduce your bass boost/EQ before playing!
