<< homepage / side project The Refrain Side Project is an ongoing experiment. We have invited musicians, both friends and the public, to cover, remix and reinvent the songs from the movie Refrain. To be clear, these are not songs that appear in the movie they are an extension of the film production, an experiment in collaboration. And so far all signs point the experiment being a fantastic success with the results posted here on this page for your listening and downloading pleasure. For more info please view the video on the right. And if you'd like information on contributing to the Side Project, the artists already involved or info on broadcasting these songs, please contact: watchrefrain@gmail.com Click above to watch a video message about the Refrain Side Project.
