Hidden Orchestra
Reorchestration
This new collection of Joe Acheson's 'Reorchestrations' (including two previously unreleased tracks) takes works by
exceptional experimental/classical/folk musicians as source material, and passes them through Joe's studio where they
are intricately reworked with the trademark/signature/distinctive/typical Hidden Orchestra composition and production
techniques. The result is a cohesive new Hidden Orchestra album, consisting of tracks produced since 2012, and
representing the best of the music to come out of Joe's studio since the last full Hidden album 'Archipelago'.
Unlike many remixes, these sensitive and non-destructive 'Reorchestrations' mostly leave the original track intact, and
add layers of drums, basslines, and textures which extend the arrangements and subvert the harmonies of the original
tracks - resulting in expansive reinterpretations rather than complete reworkings. This release is the first volume in a
series of Reorchestrations albums, featuring Joe's reworkings of experimental/classical/folk/jazz musicians.
The project started with a remix of Liverpool band Kinetic Fallacy - which eventually became the track The Revival when
Kinetic Fallacy disbanded, and has since become a staple encore of Hidden Orchestra live performances - hence its
inclusion as the final track on this release. The two unreleased tracks are reworkings of members of the Hidden
Orchestra live ensemble - Poppy Ackroyd (violin/piano), and Mary Macmaster (harps). There are also remixes of Hidden
collaborator and occasional live guest clarinettist Tomas Dvorak (AKA Floex), Russian producer Long Arm, Anglo-French
duo Piano Interrupted, and Czech clarinet quartet Clarinet Factory.
