SOUNDSCAPE ORCHESTRA

Nexus

 

Enter Soundscape Orchestra, a fresh and invigorating Swedish cross-over jazz ensemble that takes the free-form funk vibes of Miles Davis' legendary late 60s sessions Bitches Brew and In A Silent Way and brings them with confidence into the 21st century via percolating synths, elusive swirling melodies, filtered urban beats and no-holds-barred-and-beyond jazz explorations. Their debut album Nexus, due for release on October 5, is a fruitful teamwork with the amazing concept artist Per Josephson, whose futuristic, ravishing paintings give the music a mesmerizing visual dimension. Future, past and present unite effortlessly in Soundscape Orchestra's musical confectionary, easily making you oblivious to the much-needed skills and team play required to cook them. This is music for the adventurous listener, ready for a soundscape beyond the everyday clamour.
