We are pleased to announce that REFRACT releases today on Red Hook Records. This remarkable trio album features electronic musician & tape loop specialist BlankFor.ms (Tyler Gilmore), MacArthur fellow pianist Jason Moran, and prodigious drummer Marcus Gilmore. Three years in the making from conceptualisation to the recording session last summer, it all comes together today.

Spontaneity was a major tenant of the session and instilled in every take. In fact, the mystery of “what would come out” was the driving creative force behind the entire project. “One of the aspects I love about this album is how interactive all the sonic elements are,” producer Sun Chung says. “A lot of it was recorded in real time, so there is a real sense of immediacy in the music’s energy that one can sense while listening.” Paired with some of the more through-composed pieces, this 16-track program is an incredibly balanced and dynamic work.

“When Tyler was a student of mine at New England Conservatory, we would listen to a lot of electronic music, and I recall asking how he would transpose these ideas to analog instruments,” Jason reflects. “In this way, this is his answer.”

The album is now available as a limited edition deluxe 180g translucent LP, as well as on CD & digital formats here: https://ingrv.es/refract-aye-y

A heartfelt thank you to all who've helped make & support this beautiful album 🙏:
