about

"Winters Past," the forthcoming album from Drifting In Silence, embodies the transformative power of ambient music to narrate the depth of human experience. Winters Past represents a new chapter for Derrick Stembridge, the multi-instrumentalist at the helm of this evocative project. Each track is a testament to the nuanced artistry that has defined Drifting In Silence's evolving soundscape.

The opening track, "As The Last Leaf Falls," captures the poignant moment of change between seasons, its melodies like whispers of leaves descending softly to the ground. It sets a reflective tone for the album, inviting the listener into a space of serene introspection.

"The Embrace" follows, offering a sonic hug enveloping one in comfort during solitude. The track weaves a tapestry of sound that suggests closeness and warmth, contrasting the coldness indicated by the album's theme.

"Shimmering Memories" glitters with the nostalgia of winter's past, with notes that glisten like the first frost under a morning sun. It's a track that holds time still, allowing the mind to wander through the corridors of memory.

"In Stillness" speaks to the serenity of a snow-covered landscape, where the world seems to pause and take a deep, calming breath. It's a track that resonates with the peace found in solitude, echoing the silence that comes with a fresh snowfall.

"Live To Tell" is a ambient cover originally by Madonna and Pat Leonard. This cover is a pivotal point in the album, its contemplative sound providing a deep, reflective experience that sets the stage for the concluding piece.

Finally, the title track, "Winters Past," concludes the journey. It is an ode to resilience, a composition that moves through the chill of winter and into the promise of spring. This piece embodies the hope that comes after enduring the long, reflective night of the soul, greeting the dawn of new beginnings.

Through "Winters Past," Stembridge invites us to explore the quiet spaces within ourselves, providing a soundtrack for reflection and the personal stories unfolding each winter. This album is not just a collection of songs but a cohesive narrative that carries the listener through the depths of winter's solitude to the hopeful rays of a renewed season.
