You may remember refractor from issue six | SPACE , and guess what? He’s back with more! For SUNSET he graciously created ‘radiant flux’ which you can hear below. Don’t forget to keep scrolling to read our exclusive 1-1 with this Portland based artist.
Interview curated by Michael of phuture collective.
Phuture: It’s a pleasure to have you on board with your second release refractor! Woot! What have you been up to since your last release with us :)?
refractor: Yes! I’m happy to be on board again this issue, it’s probably my favorite of the seven so far. Since SPACE, honestly not too much has changed. I started taking classes again and am working more. Always trying to make stuff here and there as well, of course. Not too eventful.

Phuture: Looking back over 2016 what did you learn? Any regrets?
refractor: Goodness. I think that question speaks for itself, but I’ve gotten a notably better handle on managing my time and finances. Properly controlling those two things is really imperative in being able to really move forward and live comfortably, and that’s valuable.

refractor: Move out of my parents’ house.

Phuture: What was your favorite album/ release of 2016?
refractor: There was a LOT of great stuff this year, seriously. I’ve gotta go with The Dream Is Over by PUP. There have been several day-week long periods where I’ve listened exclusively to songs from that album.

refractor: Stand anywhere in the inner west or east sides. Close your eyes and throw a stone. You just hit a dive bar. Go there.
