8 year sleep: A catalog by the refractors [ extended ]
Subconciously political, this catalog of journal entries are a natural combination of musical space, field recordings and spoken fragments. Surreal, subtle and beautiful, this ambient suite shows how these California experimentalists deserve thier underground following. This longer editon fo the mini- album features 4 new extened tracks.

THE REFRACTORS

Things grow in the most unexpected of places. Ten years ago, Joseph and Kayline first started working together with developmentally disabled kids and adults, and soon after began collaborating on sound and film. With the belief that nature prevails, they allowed thier music to develop out of improvisation, like allowing gardens to take form. Living in the mists of Pacifica, California, their convenient seclusion allows them to create surreal environments with an eclectic collection of instruments and field recordings. They continue to score their award-winning short films as Lucid Cine. For fans of David Lynch, Deaf Center and Piano Magic.
