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.
