The Windsmith by Mytch MacFarlane
The Windsmith comes from a place that I feel within me, a place I often visit in my dreams. A place with endless mountain-scapes, infinite horizons, towering trees, floating islands in the sky, and so many beautiful beings.
The album title was a name given to me by a friend in this dream world. I was a quiet monk, and by rooting my legs into stone, I could make masses of earth float in the sky for all friendly folks to inhabit. For that practice of merging the earth and the sky I was called The Windsmith.
The songs that make up this album are a combination of songs that have come to me fairly effortlessly, and that deeply resonate with me and the world within me.

I'm a musician making the music that feels like love to me. I tend to not care about what genre of music I create, and just focus on what sounds and feels best to me. I'm influenced heavily by post-metal, post-rock, technical/progressive metal, experimental, classical, indie, folk, noise, drone, some electronic, chamber music, basically whatever tickles me the right way
