THE WORLD ON HIGHER DOWNS is a four piece group whose key members consist of NATHANIEL RITTER, TROY SCHAFER, ERIC BRAY and VINCENT WACHOWIAK, whom all reside in different cities of Wisconsin, USA. What started out as a loose idea based upon multiple collaborations, eventually blossomed into what is now known as 'Land Patterns', their debut CD on Tokyo based label Plop. THE WORLD ON HIGHER DOWNS was birthed out of TROY SCHAFER and NATHANIEL RITTER's bedroom recording sessions that began in late spring of 2005, which mostly consisted of keyboards, heavily effected electric guitar, and violin.
