ENTFÄLLT!!! The Blackheart Orchestra (UK)
Entfällt wegen Wetter!
The Blackheart Orchestra sind ein britisches Singer/Songwriter- und Multiinstrumentalisten-Duo bestehend aus den schon lang zusammen arbeitenden Chrissy Mostyn und Richard Pilkington, die ihre charismatische, verquere Art von progressiver, neo-psychedelischer Kunst-Musik jetzt nach ganz Europa tragen. Die Band vermischt unterschiedliche Musikstile auf ungewöhnliche Weise, weicht Grenzen spielerisch aus und kreiiert so ihre einzigartige, hochindividuelle emotionsgetriebene Musik, die kürzlich als "eine himmlische Fusion von Akustik-Folk, intelligentem Pop und klassischer Komposition" beschrieben wurde.
In einem Moment verwebt ihr Klang minimalistisch und fragil Melodien und atmosphärische Störungen mit Stille um ätherische musikalische Landschaften zu kreieren, die von Publikum und Kritikern als eindringlich, zauberhaft und hinreißend beschrieben wird.
Im nächsten Augenblick kreiert das Paar durch die Verwendung alter Synthies, elektronischer Drums, akustischer, elektrischer und gestrichener Gitarren und Bass eine gebirgsähnliche Klangwand um weite energiegeladene symphonische Höhepunkte zu erreichen.
Die Band wurde verglichen mit Kate Bush, Ellie Goulding, London Grammar, Pink Floyd, Steve Reich und Ludovico Einaudi.
-----------------------------------
The Blackheart Orchestra are a British singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist duo comprising long term collaborators Chrissy Mostyn and Richard Pilkington.
The band blend musical styles in a non-conformist way seamlessly sidestepping boundaries to create their unique, highly individual, emotion-drenched music.
One moment their sound is minimalist and fragile weaving melodies and atmospherics with silence to create ethereal musical landscapes that leave audiences and critics describing their work as haunting, enchanting and captivating.
Other times the pair create a mountain-like wall of sound using ancient synthesisers, electronic drums, acoustic, electric and bowed guitars and bass to create vast energetic symphonic climaxes.
The band have drawn comparisons to Kate Bush, Ellie Goulding, London Grammar, Pink Floyd, Steve Reich and Ludovico Einaudi.
The pair have toured extensively in the UK, Australia and New Zealand and are touring with 60s legend Melanie Safka before embarking on a headline tour of Europe in November.

After six years, four acclaimed albums, 1000 concerts, their music used on TV commercials and feature films, radio play in just about every country in the world and headline tours of the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, multi-award winning British duo The Blackheart Orchestra are bringing their charismatic, idiosyncratic brand of progressive, neo-psychedelic art-musique to Europe with a four week Autumn Tour embracing Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark.
The band blend musical styles in a seamlessly non-conformist way recently being described as “A heavenly fusion of acoustic folk, intelligent pop and classical composition” and “Fantastically creative” and “Utterly magical“ by the BBC. Audiences and critics have compared them to Kate Bush, Ellie Goulding, Pink Floyd, London Grammar, Steve Reich and Ludovico Einaudi.
Recently picking up Best British Duo in the UK Exposure Music Awards, self-taught multi-instrumentalists The Blackheart Orchestra are often referred to as a ‘miniature orchestra.’ On stage they play a stunning array of instruments all totally live including acoustic and electric guitars, piano, acoustic and electronic percussion, bass, bowed guitar, vintage synthesisers, omnichord, mandola, flugelhorn and melodica.
Their current album 'Songs From A Satellite' entered the Amazon chart three days after release and a month later was awarded second place Album Of The Year in the USA Indie Music Awards. Their music has been used in major brand TV commercials and is being used as the soundtrack to cult sci-fi film ‘Charlie and Me’ released in Spring 2016.
Music critic James Douglas said “They are firmly based in that curiously eccentric British tradition that spawned the earliest incarnation of Pink Floyd. Their referencing includes everything that’s great in rock, from the great English folk bands to the all-pervasive influence of The Velvet Underground, all washed with the purity of Travis. The Blackheart Orchestra are on the fringe of true greatness.”
