Memotone has been writing and releasing music for many years. He has worked as a composer often being asked to soundtrack everything from fashion collections for the likes of Palace through to films, art projections and beyond. His sound is broad and varied, channeling influences from Folk through to abstract Electronics and Ambient.

Originally from Bristol he has evolved as an artist, mutating through the ever fluctuating dynamic of experimental underground music in the UK. Over the years he has released albums on the likes of Black Acre, Diskotopia and Accidental Meetings whilst also offering a number of EP’s for the likes of Termina and Sähkö Recordings.

Often using a broad variety of instruments, you never know quite what to expect from a Memotone record. More often than not they are deeply provocative, built for pensive self reflection and channel an element of futurism. However, that’s not to say that there isn’t a sense of deep rooted nostalgia and heritage rooted throughout.

Take the new album on Impatience for example – a collection of music which is at times Classical in style, blurring the lines with influences from traditional Folk music whilst using elaborate electronics to elevate and recontextualise the entire listening experience.

We weren’t entirely sure what to expect from this mixtape, that’s perhaps part of the charm. It’s wild, eclectic and free.

Smooth Brain Sunday 11 (Nov 2023)

“Equinox” feels like a natural successor to my first album, which gathered 15 years of writing and recording into an 18-track release, “Liminal,” officially released on January 1, 2025. This EP shows a more mature side of me—music rooted in my mental-health struggles and the self-damaging choices that hurt me physically and emotionally, and placed strain on the people who stood by me with patience and kindness. These songs are about healing and making amends, and I hope they offer comfort to anyone who needs a reminder to be gentle with themselves.
The idea of an equinox—day and night in balance—guides this project. I want it to feel like the warm blanket you reach for as the leaves fall and winter approaches: something that helps you stay kind to yourself, so you have the strength to love others.

For those of you who are able to support my upcoming music efforts, please do so, every little bit helps: www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/KLJ9JTXLNNKT4
