MINIMAL BEATS.
EXPANSIVE IMAGINATION.
FROM BRISTOL
Memotone is a single guy from Bristol, a very consummate producer and multi-instrumentalist. His music could be described as many things, experimental, Jazz, hip hop, electronica, found sounds .. and yet doesn`t fit the mould of anything else in those genres.
In "hands", there`s a lot of mellowness.. and a sense of patience about this EP. It might be the gnarled sound of a grandfather clock thats greets you in the opening track that reminds you of a going to a old relatives house, where every shelf holds memories and the hurried pace that modern life forces you to keep ceases for awhile.
The last track, in which the whole recording seems to build up to is such a pleasant surprise on the first listen, leaving you with the sense of finally awakening. All this was made with technology, but there`s no feeling of machines or anything synthetic about this collection.
Try his "rewerk" of Aaliahh`s "Try Again" ... That will give you a flavour of his talents. It`s not run of the mill.

The EP is £4, and a but a bit more cash, gets you a T shirt handmade from the composer himself. He`s been getting plays on Giles Peterson radio show too, who I respect greatly. Nuff said really. He`s on Facebook, you know.
