From didjeridu to synths, Windshift flows with vivid color and texture, reimagined for a new generation.
Michael Atherton is a writer, composer, and educator from Sydney, Australia. Born in Liverpool, England, to Welsh-Irish and German parents, his family migrated to Australia in 1965. Growing up in the multicultural suburb of La Perouse, he fostered friendships with Indigenous members and Iberian migrants. His formative migrant experience and curiosity about vernacular and notated music led him to formally study ethnomusicology.
A self-taught guitarist turned accomplished multi-instrumentalist, Michael’s recorded output spans many genres and styles. He has been a member of the Renaissance Players, an early music group, Sirocco, a pioneering cross-cultural folk group, and Southern Crossings, an innovative ethno-classical ensemble.
By 1990, he had moved beyond his earlier musical endeavors and away from Australia, with Windshift drawing on resources from the Asia-Pacific and Europe. With an impressive arsenal of instruments such as didjeridu, hurdy gurdy, kulintang, saron, and jaw harp, Michael adds intense color to the recordings using samplers, synths, and modulating effects.
Recently remastered by fellow Australian musician and engineer Mikey Young and visually reimagined by Glasgow-based artist Jamie Johnson, Windshift is being reissued on vinyl for the first time by Infinite Expanse.
