Yet another singer/songwriter of the texturalist school of music. Employed by the love of collecting vintage analog knobs, keys, tube amps, and guitars, Winter Makes Sailors produces home recorded pop songs full of simple melodies and catchy hooks.
Sean Gardner has been playing in the Columbus, Ohio music scene for about 6 years and is currently a songwriter in the band MeltyMelty. He has now started this here solo project as well.
When interviewing himself he was asked to describe the process of writing music for Winter Makes Sailors. He said
"I've been writing music in my bedroom for years on my acoustic. Lately, I've been trying to learn to record and play other instruments, so really, the songs I'm writing are just kind of an experiment of sorts. When you're listening to these songs, you'll hear me fuck up and you'll hear me gradually getting better....well, hopefully. I'm realizing that it's a life long process. I'm excited about that. I always write the songs on an acoustic or on a piano, then translate them into something else. I try to use the various instruments I have lying around to change up the songs a little bit. For instance, I'll try to play the bass parts on my rhodes or I'll play melody on my vibrophones, a drony chorus on an air organ....I don't know--stuff like that. I've got a bunch of effects pedals that I want to use, but I just haven't seemed to find the perfect time for them. Sometimes, I think maybe I have too many options. Again, I'm only learning and trying to implement what I learn from my favorite artists."
