The Cinematic Orchestra

Adelaide Festival Centre's trans:mission program presents The Cinematic Orchestra

Created by composer and multiinstrumentalist Jason Swinscoe in 1999, this British-based outfit spin through musical genres to create very identifiable aural narratives.

Their live performances evoke heart warming emotional shifts that navigate through orchestral, jazz, soul, electronic sampled beats and experimental moods with a turntablist and electronic element.

The Cinematic Orchestra's debut album Motion (Ninja Tune) in 1999 took everyone by surprise, with listeners of Gilles Peterson's Radio One show in the UK voting it album of the year. The critical success of this and future albums has led to performances across the world including Royal Albert Hall, and at the Director's Guild Awards ceremony for the presentation of the Lifetime Achievement Award for film director Stanley Kubrick.

Conceived as the soundtrack to an imaginary film, their latest release Ma Fleur (2007) features the song To Build A Home, prominently used on the medical drama ,i>Grey's Anatomy and more recently, in the award winning Cadbury 'Schweppervescense' commercial.

If you enjoyed Pink Martini, presented by trans:mission in January 2008, you'll love the Cinematic Orchestra.
