Solarference is Nick Janaway and Sarah Owen. We are sound artists, singers and electronic musicians, making sound-centred art and music from a number of perspectives. We often combine electronics and the human voice. Feel free to listen to some of our music or check out our other projects. More about us here...

Click here for a recording of a jam from our November workshop on "voice and experimental sound" at Sound Gallery, Exeter Phoenix - many thanks to everyone who came!

We've just finished a series of gigs in the South West, many thanks to everyone who came! Here's a performance of Willow Tree from the most recent gig at Exeter Picturehouse, which was a particularly special one we think.

Many thanks to Martin and Martin from Roots and Shoots for having us on the show - we don't have a good recording of the actual session, so these songs are from a rehearsal of our set that we did earlier in the day. If you missed the show, this is roughly what it sounded like!


Songs: Ei Di'r Deryn Du (Blackbird will you go), and Gallant Ship / Skylark medley. Click here to download.

[Solarference will be spending the next while making some studio recordings (perhaps an album of sorts) to complement all these live recordings!]

 

 

 

We've now recorded our songs from the Welsh theatre project Siamber Wen. Listen to the whole soundtrack below, or on the Siamber Wen page.



Siamber Wen will be back in rehearsal & development in August 2009, with a presentation at the Sherman Theatre, Cardiff, on 24th August 2009.
