Event 31
Hidden Orchestra
– Roland Stage, Christ College
Formerly known as the Joe Acheson Quartet, Hidden Orchestra combine two live drummers and deep basslines with strong jazz and classical influences, to make cinematic, emotive, percussive, next generation music using traditional instrumentation and organic samples. Hidden Orchestra’s debut album Night Walks showcases their energetic originality. The album was funded by the Scottish Arts Council, and features a selection of distinguished Scottish jazz/folk/classical guest musicians. Their beautifully crafted, explosive live show, where the core quartet is augmented with visuals, cello and brass, has cemented their reputation as one of the UK’s most unique upcoming outfits.
‘The hottest new act to emerge since the Cinematic Orchestra...you can barely believe such a sound is being created by just four people...the start of something special indeed.’ IDJ Magazine
