Winterpark Art Exhibition - Track 12. The night beetle
Track 12... The Night Beetle is the first single from Sunday Morning.
OK, I confess... i'm obsessed with the Beatles... and with Sunday Morning I really wanted to create an album that flowed like the B-Side of Abbey Road, where each track seamlessly flows into the next, despite the diversity. This track, is a homage of sorts to the Beatles, with my attempt to channel George Harrison's guitar solos.
Reviewed in the Age EG, Craig Mathieson writes: "WINTERPARK have spent several years on the periphery of the local indie-electro scene but with the lovingly crafted vintage pop of The Night Beetle (***), Matt Ridgway's project sounds ready to take the spotlight with the forthcoming Sunday Morning album.
Accomplished film maker and video artist Gavin Youngs, shows off his rather somewhat twisted sense of humour to create an awesome video work entitled "Night Light" that has to be watched in its entirety!
Gavin writes of his work: "The 1:56 mark of The night beetle sparked the real inspiration for the piece. Referencing a television ad from the 80’s the work looks at what lights your sleep."
FYI... Gavin has previously worked with Winterpark to create the amazing video clip for Cold Feet, off the first Winterpark album One Night Alone.

Winterpark Art Exhibition - Track 9. Hey Love
Track 9, Hey Love will be the second single from the new album "Sunday Morning". Susannah Legge (ex-The Hampdens) contributes her wonderful vocals to the track.
Long term Winterpark collaborator, film-maker Jarrah Gurrie, who had used a number of Winterpark songs in his films... most notably "Wall Kids" in his short film "Centre of the universe". Jarrah also made the video clip for Winterpark for Wall kids when we were in NYC a couple of years back. Check it out here.
For the exhibition, Jarrah created a video response to the track called "To let you down", it references Hey Love not via the soundtrack, but through visual imagery. Jarrah's writes of his work; "Time stands still in the moment the heart snaps."

Winterpark Art Exhibition - Track 8. Sunday Morning
The title track "Sunday Morning" is an ode to the joys of lying in bed, coffee and breakfasts, walking in the park and love.
Who better to share the love than the amazing and wonderful Jessica Racklyeft. Jess has a knack of creating works of wonder and whimsy, that capture essence and emotion in a moment. Her artist response to Sunday Morning is a quasi-religious painting that embodies all these things.
Jess says of her work: "This pretty track got me thinking about the Sunday spirit - for me, ultimately lying in bed with the sun and no plans... time/quiet/peace. I wanted to represent elements of religious iconography, since perhaps church on a Sunday is where some people found their moment of reflection from the rest of the busy week... Like the track says, Sundays make you remember that everything’s all right."

Winterpark Album Launch - The Grace Darling - Friday Sept 16th
Following on from the successful single launch and coinciding art exhibition Winterpark is warming up for the official “Sunday Morning” album launch this spring. The show is a one off performance at the Grace Darling Hotel in Collingwood on Friday 16th September to celebrate the release of his third album.
Winterpark is the collaborative studio project for Melbourne’s Matt Ridgway, born out of the ashes of his indie-punk rock dreams. “Sunday Morning” is the long awaited third offering from the Melbourne artist which boasts a collection of atmospheric and heartfelt tracks, as well as a handful of catchy upbeat tunes that effortlessly echo the ebbs and flow of Matt’s musical career.
Last month saw Winterpark perform at the opening of the “Sunday Morning” art exhibition, held at the Dear Patti Smith galley in Fitzroy, to launch the first single Night Beetle. The exhibition displayed a collection of works by 14 different local and international artists, who each gave their creative interpretation to a track from the album, with artworks varying from photographs and light installations, to paintings and new media.
The Grace Darling launch will be the first full live performance in over a year, where Winterpark will treat Melbourne fans to a one off gig that showcases the songs from the new album as well as throwing in a few old favourites.
Matt will be performing alongside Susannah Legge (formerly of the Hampdens) who has leant her vocals to a number of tracks on the album, and Dan West (Diafrix/Velure). The wonderful Eugenia Lim will also be providing visuals for the performance.
Fellow Melbournite Ross McLennan and Popolice will be joining in the celebration, supporting Winterpark perfoming new material.

Winterpark Art Exhibition - Track 7. Friday nights forever
Friday nights forever is one of my favorite tracks off the new album... it all came together with a sort of great synchronicity with some strange guitar loops I made for a different project fitting somewhat seamlessly into a rhythmic part i'd created on NI's Maschine.
Melbourne songwriter Ross McLennan made an audio-visual video response to the track for the Exhibition. It was presented as a looping video, but the youtube clip is not looping... so you'll have to imagine the clip looping. He has used part of the song's outro and matched it with video of his son playing with a sparkler. It is quite mesmerizing.
Ross says of the process: "I initially wanted to make something that highlighted the place where Matt and I connect; where sounds feel like brain chemistry rather than music created by players. So, I took the more abstract section of the track, and then abstracted it further.
After a conversation with Matt about what the track meant to him, I went looking through my home movies. i found some footage of my son from a few years back. Something about the sparkler seems to marry well to the “brain chemistry feel” of the sound. Like a humble little life. The lifespan of a miniature star."
Please visit Ross' facebook page and listen to his amazing music.

Winterpark Art Exhibition - Track 5. Hiccups
Track 5 off Sunday Morning is a short little ambient soundscape called Hiccups, which features guitar loops, bells and Susannah's vocals.
Kate Stokes created an amazing response to the work called "Filament". Her installation/light work is made from Bricklayers nylon and wire.
Kate says: "This track has a nostalgia that conjured up images of a lonely fisherman at sea. These structures have a delicate woven framework, reminiscent of fishing nets and cray pots."
See more of Kate's work at her CocoFlip website here

Winterpark Art Exhibition - Track 4. Centre of the universe
"Centre of the universe" is Track 4 on the Sunday Morning album. It is an instrumental that is somewhat inspired by the sounds of Nick Drake, and is musically quite delicate. Listen out for the extraneous noises recorded through the guitar microphone!
Jordy Hewitt, ex-WP singer is also a rather amazing artist... she contributed a large scale painting to the exhibition called "The Keeper".
Jordy says if the process of creating the work to the track: "For me Centre of the Universe is about polarity... and the complex behind the simple. The song has an understated driving lucidity that is covered over by a twinkling ethereal veil. Behind this tiny offering, a universe spirit, a man and his/story. But this kind of calm sorrowfulness born of pain and beauty of experience is meandering towards an uncertain optimism because always at the core, is wisdom and intelligence. It and you are The Keeper."

Winterpark Art Exhibition - Track 1. A Movie Ending
The opening track off the new album is an instrumental called "A movie ending".
Artist Jewels Stevens created a an amazing 168cmx168cm painting in oil and acrylic on canvas.
Jewels says of the process:
"This assignment was right up my alley. Music is the major source of inspiration for my art making and what i generally do is to paint the way the music makes me feel. This particular Winterpark track is very uplifting, it made me feel and think about floating up into the clouds, sunshine and magic"
