  • Orchestra of Samples

    We're now touring our AV project Orchestra of Samples, for our album release.

    Having filmed recording sessions with over 200 musicians in more than twenty five countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America, we've created a unique archive to sample from. We then produced visual music, fusing all manner of instruments and styles, creating a digital supergroup of international artists who never met but play together on screen.

    More info on the project's own website here and here's a 60 second video to explain it...
      


  • Addictive TV @ GMIC 2016, China
