About
Winterlight is the music made by Tim Ingham, a laptop and an occasional guitar. When he was younger he bought a delay pedal and dreamed of being Robin Guthrie or Vini Reilly. He played in bands that worshipped My Bloody Valentine and the Cocteau Twins in equal measure, although the nearest they got to success was standing next to Slowdive at the Old Trout in Windsor. After a while other things became more important and he stopped making music. Years later, when he discovered that he could make music on his battered old laptop, the ideas that he had in his head for years came flooding out and became winterlight. Now he makes music late at night with only a laptop and headphones for company. Electronic music made by someone who has never listened to much, winterlight is one part electronica, one part shoegaze, one part melancholy and one part hope. Lullabies without words.
When my daughter was born it was a stormy night but as I walked out of the hospital back to the car a gap opened up in the clouds and moonlight flooded out of it. To me it seemed as if angels were rushing back to a door that had opened up to heaven having delivered isabel to us. For a long time after she had a large birth mark in the middle of her back and I thought that was where her wings had been cut off before she was given to us.
That's pretty much what winterlight sounds like in my head.

yeah and a little slow...if not quiet
Biltmore Dive, Aug 11, 2007:
Yeah, Virb is still a very quiet place. Wish it was a little more popular. I think that it's becoming popular among the really underground crowd. Still tho, it's seemingly a nice place ... who knows, if it helps us sell another album, then it's worth it I guess.
