Orfeo 5
Orfeo 5 are Shaun Blezard (electronics) and Keith Jafrate (saxophones). They use improvisation to find structure & vice versa, in music that is romantic, narrative & mysterious all at once. Playing long pieces which evolve over time to create a sense of place & landscape, but which also incorporate strongly rhythmic passages. Their style takes in influences from Jon Hassell, Evan Parker & Nils Pieter Molvaer, among others, and is a hybrid of Improv, jazz, folk, dub, sound art & electronica.
They released their first CD " A Year on the Ice" in 2009.

ORPHANS
Orphans are musical magpies, collecting shiny nuggets of sound, instantly satisfying riffs, hooks & antique distressed song structures, unique but immediate. Their lyrics are brimming with angry humour & dissatisfaction, struggling to find hope in the empty corners of modernity. The components are lovingly assembled & the resulting readymades are offered to your ears & knees. Fast, drums, guitars, sax & voices, surf, ska, punk & rock!!
