One Friday night at the Franklin Tavern (Tasmania, Australia) in June 2010, Mike Raine, Miranda Wageman and Paul Svenson launched into an impromptu improvisation during a lull in the normal musical mayhem that takes place there. There was an immediate musical rapport between them, and from this emerged the idea of a recording collaboration. The idea was to explore and experiment with a variety of musical styles, with the focus being on the violin. From time to time, Neil Levis, renowned Hobart jazz keyboard player would join them. From this emerged their first CD 'The fool in the broken glass', with 15 tracks revealing influences from around the globe. Ten of these are originals from Mike and Miranda, with contributions from Paul (percussion) and Neil (piano). Since then, Mike and Miranda have continued experimenting with different sounds and ideas, and continue to record their efforts in Mike's studio in Ranelagh. Neil sadly passed away in 2012, and a great musical talent was lost. Their second CD, "Dreams in Motion" came out in July 2013. It includes originals from Miranda and Mike, and, like 'The fool in the broken glass', a couple of tracks of classical origins. "Last Port of Call" is Raine & Wageman's third CD. There are 11 original tracks, and three covers and continues their sonic explorations, sourcing musical styles from around the planet.
