Hidden Orchestra, musical collective around producer and composer Joe Acheson, is coming on Sunday November 26th to Lucerna Music Bar.
Tickets available for 350 CZK + fees at Lucerna Music Bar box office and website, GoOut.cz, Ticketpro, Ticketportal. 400 CZK at the doors.
Hidden Orchestra’s eagerly anticipated third album, ‘Dawn Chorus’ is a highly personal, intricate and unique work from producer and composer Joe Acheson. The album is built around an expansive collection of birdsong and other field recordings, carefully captured across many years in diverse locations around the UK and abroad. Rich in detail and character, these sonic snapshots intertwine with layers of bass, drums, percussion and eclectic instruments – including piano, electro-harp, glockenspiel, Turkish mey and cello – for an emotive and transporting listen.
The first taste of this LP came in late 2016 with the “Wingbeats EP”, which captivated fans and tastemakers alike,
the beautiful lead piece being strongly championed by Mary Anne Hobbs and picked for the BBC 6Music Recommends Playlist. Daytime and specialst airplay across BBC 6Music added to other high profile support from the likes of Jamie Cullum (BBC Radio 2), Late Junction (BBC Radio 3), BBC Radio Scotland and The Arts Desk, while the track was accompanied by a video featuring drone footage of breathtaking Icelandic scenery and birdlife.
The live incarnation of Hidden Orchestra combines the duelling beats of two full drum kits (care of Jamie Graham and Tim Lane) with piano and violin from Poppy Ackroyd, and Acheson’s bass and electronics.
