About: Refracted Memories
Refracted Memories is a collaboration between Welsh producer
Michael Wadlow, American producer Jack Morefield, and singer songwriter Jay
Arana.
Refracted Memory - started when Jack asked Mike for help on
a soundscape. The track was to become an album called "The Cares of
Tomorrow". During the next few weeks the two quickly formed Refracted
Memory and created 10 tracks together for a January 2013 release.
As Jack and Mike were doing their thing, Jay, a friend of
Jack was asked to work on a track called “Blood Red Sun”, where Jay added his
acoustic playing and lyrics over their soundscape. Everything fit together
perfectly and turned out to be a truly special track, as did all others
following that. Since then the three have not turned back and have written over
2 albums worth of material. Their debut album together, “Stepping Stones” is
out now on Juno and will soon be released internationally on Aug 21st
2015.
-----------------------------
Michael Wadlow - is a producer from Wales who returns to
Electronic Music after 20 years of inactivity. This loving father of 3 and
devoted grandfather of 3 is back with a bang as an iPad exclusive artist whose
soundscape inspired tracks have captured the imagination and he is now one of
only a handful of iPad producers to be signed by several recording labels.
Michael Wadlow continues to push back the boundaries of electronic music and
show the music community just what is possible with the humble iPad!
Jack Morefield - played in a couple of successful cover and
original bands simultaneously in Florida, USA in the late 90's. Citing creative
differences, and frustrated at the inability to maintain a cohesive line up
Jack quit playing live music and moved to Boston in order to start a family and
focus on visual art. Fast forward to 2012 after an iPad gift from his wife,
Jack was able to begin describing the sonic mindscapes that were impossible for
him to define in the past. Jack always kept a hand in music production and
multi-tracking but was amazed to discover the potential for composition using
loops and grid editing. Never straying far from a guitar, he was now able to
create full compositions to play over.
Jay Arana - is primarily a folk/psych folk, Americana acoustic
artist, singer/songwriter. He has
played in a number of successful original bands over the years (post grunge era
in the mid to late 90s, early 2000s) mostly in the Portland, Oregon area. He is a self-taught guitarist and plays by
ear, utilizing a number of alternate tunings that add to the depth of his
sound. A versatile musician that has
influences from a number of genres, he does not stick to one particular style
as he feels the complex emotions that come out through music cannot be
satisfied by one particular style. Something he continually strives for is to
describe life through music, keeping it as visual as possible through the
lyrical/music interaction.
