London Ambient Orchestra
avant-garde free jazz contemporary jazz
Influences: Pauline Oliveros, Anthony Braxton, Cecil Taylor
London Ambient Orchestra is a large ensemble of conservatoire-trained contemporary classical players and avant-garde improvisers playing on flutes, clarinets, tenor saxophone, trombone, strings, piano, double bass, percussion and live effects processing. The music moves between dreamy, Brian Eno-like ambient soundscapes, Pauline Oliveros-style sound meditations, minimalism and raucous free improvisation. Their set is built entirely on live group improvisation, so no two performances are alike.
