The Orchestra Of The Upper Atmosphere has just released "Theta Seven", their seventh (and final?) release.
- Martin Archer – Woodwind, Keyboards, Software Instruments
- Jan Todd – Vocals, Melodies, Electronics, Harp, Sound Recordings, Samples
- Steve Dinsdale – Drums, Keyboards
- Lorin Halsall – Acoustic And Electric Double Basses, Electronics
- Yvonna Magda – Violin And Electronics
- Andy Peake – Piano, Keyboards
- Walt Shaw – Drums, Percussion, Electronics
- Terry Todd – Bass Guitar
Here's the concept:
As with previous releases, basic tracks, either using simple compositional ideas or freely improvised, were recorded live in the studio by the full band over a frenetic 2 day period. These tracks were radically edited and collaged by Martin Archer, and finally overdubbed and arranged by Martin Archer and Jan Todd working in tandem to arrive at the seamless continuity of sound heard on the finished work.
The result sounds amazing.
Hypnotic and amazing.
And (!!), there's even a Sun Ra tune in there !!
Released on Martin Archer's Discus Music record label.
