about

Recorded in my mother's garage over a couple of weeks.

One summer I found a big upright piano on the curb at a neighbors house. My friends and I put it on a couple of old skateboards nailed to plywood and pushed it down to the garage. I had only messed around on piano a little bit here and there before this. I spent the better part of the summer of 2005 teaching myself how to play and write songs on piano.

This album was written mostly on that piano.

The subjects and inspiration for these songs deal a lot with old failures and new beginnings. Seasons, being circular, the title of the album ["With it Comes Snow"] is my way of explaining the way life takes you around in a circle in nearly everything you do.

This was a very transitional period of my existence and the songs deal with this a lot. Confusion, apathy, happiness, struggle and many other hard to pin down emotions are laced in lyric as well as music.

about

Shaun W. Detroit

Shaun W. (fka Matilda) is meant to be more of a musical documentation of life events rather than a marketable musical cash cow.

It is the mostly solo, ever changing, ongoing musical project of Shaun Wisniewski.
Songs are mostly folk-y and noisy. They also have flourishes of electronic beats, sound collage, and synth. For the most part the songs are poorly produced, and that’s fine.
