Old music, old blogs, and many frozen ideas to warm with the spring. Winter Synth is a particularly cold variant of Dungeon Synth that emerged only a few years after Dungeon Synth's emergence. Or is it a variant of Dungeon Synth at all? Dark Ambient, Dungeon Synth, and Winter Synth... The list usually runs something like that. Winter Synth is always the third qualifier in the list of three adjacent "styles". The rule threes defined Winter Synth orginally as "something that was not Dungeon Synth". Since it emerged in such an embryonic period, Winter Synth essentially serves as the "second stem" of Dungeon Synth. Winter Synth was crafted in essentially the same manner as Dungeon Synth: by albums and aesthetics. As defined by Balbulus on the Winter Synth Blog, Winter Synth (or WS) is cold, austere, and hypnotic. It embraces everything from the equinox to Antarctica. This is a genre for the winter nights of ice, forests, and mountains.

This video is a far from perfect appendix to my previous Dungeon Synth video. It is more an exploration of the complications in Dungeon Synth's many emergent styles: Winter Synth, Nature Synth, Forest Synth, etc. It seems the style/genre is constantly exploding with mutations and experiments. Is all of this splitting hairs over presentation? Winter Synth ties deeply into Dungeon Synth's musical lineage. Winter Synth is perhaps the Ambient mirror to Dungeon Synth's Black Metal: Klaus Schulze, Paysage D'Hiver, Idjarn, Jääportit, and even up to the recent Aindulmedir. Winter Synth is a complicated asterisk to the discussions of Dungeon Synth's musical ancestry. Another facet of the story which deepens one's appreciation. The outpouring of creativity and comic influence through another stream.

Does this all signal the "Dark Age" then?
