solarference is a group made up of Nick Janaway and Sarah Owen. It combines traditional English folk song with electronic sound, and its performances use voices and laptops. Nothing is pre-recorded: the duo use their own homemade audio software to transform live sounds from voices, found objects and instruments into layered, lyrical electronic textures.

The music is described as warm, percussive and atmospheric, with a strong live emphasis. Its approach sits between folk material and electronic processing, with the performance built from sounds generated in the moment rather than from backing tracks.
