The Spaceinvader Orchestra is an improvisational group that uses the turntable as the primary melodic instrument to create a field of sound. Influenced by the minimalist movement and fueled by a passion for jazz, international music, and beat culture, the Orchestra carves loops of melodies from second hand records and reorganizes the fragments into new compositions. On stage you will hear anywhere from three to nine turntables swirling around an armory of samurai synths, organic electronics, and block stomping beats. The members of the Orchestra are an ever evolving cast of players including members of Sub Oslo, Polyphonic Spree, Gorch Fock, and Tacks, the Boy Disaster. The music has been described as a journey from ambient soundscapes to a beat driven acid drenched dance party. Projections by local VDJ Paul Baker add an extra dimension to the Spaceinvader experience.
